Drum, manager of the Glencoe office of Mc- Guire & Orr, 316 Park avenue, Glen- coe. It involves the transfer of the heavily wooded, five-acre tract on the lake, at the foot of Maple Hill road, in that village, and through which there ex- tends a very deep ravine, 120 feet wide. A former owner appropriately termed this tract, "The Little Switzerland of America." The sale was made for Herbert L. Stern to J. Cameron Aspley, who has been a resident of Glencoe for several years. McGuire & Orr represented both the buyer and the seller. The attorneys representing Mr. Stern were Sonnenscheim, Berkson, Lantman & Levison, and Edwin Lawlor was at- torney for Mr. Aspley. The consideration is not disclosed, but it is understod to be considerably in excess of $100,000. Mr. Aspley, it is said, contemplates erecting a fine residence here during the coming summer, for which Robert E. Seyforth, architect, of Highland Park, is now preparing plans. Tt will be located on the lake and along the deep ravine, on the south side of which is the palatial home of Mr. Curtis Camp. BUILT-IN CHESTS HAVE APPEAL Built-in medicine chests give to the walls of the bathroom a pleasing and uniform appearance. Finished in nickel silver with many attractive designs on the mirror, these chests have an appeal to many differing tastes, and suit all color schemes. I TL a Se SS SE CE oy --_
