June 16, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 55 LET BANK CONTRACT John Davies of Wilmette Gets General Contract to Reconstruct Wilmette Theater Structure Work of transforming the old Vil- lage theater building in Wilmette into a modern banking institution has been started. The first steps were taken Tuesday of this week by John Davies, who is the general contractor, and from now until the latter part of Sep- tember or early in October, when the reconstruction work has been com- pleted and the First National bank of Wilmette moves from Central avenue to its new home, there will be plenty of activity. While Mr. Davies, who built the Winnetka fire station and many resi- dences here, is the general contractor and will handle the steel and ma- sonry contract, he has associated with him James Wigginton of Evanston. The American Terra Cotta company has been awarded the contract to fur- nish this material which is to decorate the front of the reconstructed building. The contract for the vault door and other equipment has been given to the Mosler Safe company. Martin Jacob- son of Wilmette will look after all plumbing. New Nash Type of Auto Is Coming Out Soon While business and financial circles are stirring with the discussion of re- cent automobile company mergers and proposed consolidations, the deepest mystery cloaks activities in and about a number of the great American auto- mobile manufacturing plants. Persistent rumors of new car models --some fantastic, some based on the fringe of fact--have been afloat for weeks. They whisper that new and revolutionary types of cars are about to be introduced. One of the principal "storm centers" for this speculation surrounds the big Nash Motors plants in Kenosha, Ra- cine and Milwaukee, where all indi- cations point to the introduction within a few weeks of an entirely new type of automobile. For more than a year the highly or- ganized manufacturing forces under the leadership of C. W. Nash, whose mastery of design and mechanical adaptation has been acknowledged in the industry since its earliest days, have been working with unprecedented secrecy. Details of an entifely new Nash motor have been guarded with partic- ular secrecy but information has been received stating that because of its ad- vanced design the new engine will out- perform anything heretofore placed on the market, according to Nash Sales agency, 547 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka.
