WINNET KA: TALK February 18, 1928 A State Bank Two Angles of Safety OULD you consider your home a haven of comfort and rest if you had constantly in the back of your mind : the anxiety for valuable documents and possessions you had hidden in it? The home that shelters these things does so at the sacrifice of safety for the members of your family. Remember no thief goes unarmed. The place for your valued possessions and documents is a Safe Deposit Box-- in this Bank. Banking Hours: 8 to 3; Saturdays 8 to 12:30 Monday Evenings 7 to 8 WINNETKA TRUST and SAVINGS EEE] Sport in South? Fine! Says Tom; Business? Nay! The members of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce at their regu- lar meeting last Monday evening wel- comed their president, Thomas J. Lynch, who has just returned from an entended sojourn in the South. This was the first meeting of the Chamber since his return, and President Lynch, during a brief talk on business and conditions generally through the South, and particularly Florida, said he found it most gratifying to get back to a community like Winnetka and the north shore. Mr. Lynch is the well known tree surgeon and the Village Forester of Winnetka. During the brief winter season, when the trees and shrubs here are being sprayed with snow, instead of the various mixtures which Mr. Lynch concocts, he takes his family, and with Mrs. Lynch's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ilg, Sr. the florists, of 845 Pine street, goes down to Florida for a few weeks, there to enjoy the myriads of flowers, shurbs and trees, abounding in the southland. They motored down again this year, stopping at various places, and also en- joyed a seven-days stay in Havana, Cuba. President Lynch, in the discussion of affairs in general in the South, as com- pared with those on the north shore, only created a still greater satisfaction on the part of the Winnetka business men with their own ideal conditions and surroundings. But as to the trip to Cuba and the playgrounds of Florida--that was dif- ferent. There was an evident longing on the part of many to be able to start out the following morning to enjoy some of the winter sports down south. George Massey, Jr., of 705 Sheridan road had Miss Virginia Armitage of New York as his guest at the Yale junior prom. Mr. Massey is a member of the Yale Glee club and hopes to travel with the club in Europe this summer.

GRAY Proprietor Heraldic Artist 17 Rapp Building Winnetka, Ill Inspection of Studio Invited GOLF FACTORY NEWEST BUSINESS IN WINNETKA Village Now Lays Claim to Genuine Golfing Town With Own Course and School Every north shore village boasts its close proximity to numerous good golf courses, its full-fledged and near champions, and scores of devotees to the game, but it remains for Winnetka to claim, in addition to all these, its own municipal course, the Skokie Playfield; a golf school, and last, but by no means least, a golf club factory. The latter is located in the rear of 1010 Elm street, where, since its es- tablishment only last December, have been turned out scores of the most scientifically constructed clubs known to the profession, and with which it is said to be quite probable that some of the coming season's record scores may be established. The three men who own and oper- ate this club shop are the well known "Pros," Dave Tosh, of Sunset Ridge; Jim Gourlay, late of the Islesmere Country Club, in Montreal, Canada, and who will be the "Pro" at Glencoe Golf club this year in place of Wally Chamberlain, and Ned Jamieson, who is assistant to "Pro" Tosh, out at Sun- set. Hail from Carnoustie Singularly enough, these three young men all hail from the same vil- lage in "Guid Auld" Scotland, birth- place of golf, where they literally grew up with the game on the fine courses about Carnoustie. They not only know the fine points of the game and the best manner of conveying the manner of their attain- ment to their enthusiastic American students, but they are also long ex- perienced in the making of all kinds of clubs with which the game is played. Their work, with the exception of that which is done with the polishing wheels, and a shaper or two, motor driven, is done by hand. The club heads are bought in the rough. About the floor of their shop are piles of drivers, brassies, mid- irons, mashies, putters, niblicks, run- up irons, and all the others, which, in the course of development are deftly shaped into just the proper poise and balance by these men who so well understand the importance of getting just the proper sort of club into the hands of the player. The run-up iron is something entirely new, they an- nounce, one of their own special de- sign. Hickory Favorite Wood The shafts are carefully selected from great piles of the best second growth hickory, hand polished and topped off with grips of the best ma- terial it is possible to obtain. In addition to making matched sets to order, which may include grips of various colors to match milady's green, red, blue, or what have you, golf sweater, they also have a large stock of clubs on hand at all times, and at prices which they announce are not in excess of those for other good clubs. They also make up a line of cheaper clubs for beginners. Mr. and Mrs. Artemus D. Watson, Jr., of 859 Sheridan road, announce the birth of a daughter, Pamela Churchill, on Wednesday, February 8.
