NO. 26 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SEPTEMBER 1, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BOOSTS DOLLAR DAYS Great Bargain Event Set for September 12; Promise Big Values for a Dollar The special committee of the Win- netka Chamber of Commerce which has chosen Wednesday, September 12, as the date of the next Dollar Day, also recommends that a big sales event of this nature be held regularly twice each year, and that by all merchants participating and offering real bar- gains, the residents will come to look forward to these occasions with the re- sult that greater success will attend each recurring sale. Secretary B. G. Eberle in a letter addressed this week to members of the Chamber advising them of the result of the committee's deliberations, stated : . "The committee was enthusiastically in favor of Dollar Day, and has set aside Wednesday, September 12, as the day when all merchants are asked to co-operate by offering some special article or articles for one dollar. By that date vacations will be over, school will have commenced and it is thought that trade can again be stimulated. Invited to Participate "The committee therefore invites you to join in making Dollar Day a huge success. If every merchant who pos- sibly can will offer some article or ar- ticles for $1.00 that are real bargains, the committee feels positive that the day will be long remembered. They feel that one day of bargains is pre- ferred to two or more days, and sug- gests that these bargains be offered for one day only. It is left to each indi- vidual merchant to decide just what articles he will offer for one dollar." Each merchant will decide on his own method of advertising, but the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce will give wide publicity to the occasion. Further Details Later All Winnetka merchants, including those of Hubbard Woods and Indian Hill, will be included in the list of those Joining in the coming first semi-annual big sales event. Watch for further announcements. Falls Asleep at Wheel, His Auto Hits a Tree The moral of this story is: When driving a car do not go to sleep at the wheel. Edward Raske, of 3911 West Chica- go avenue, Chicago, arose early last Sunday morning, August 26, and was driving north on Sheridan road in Winnetka about 5:30 a. m. Going to sleep at the wheel proved disastrous for Mr. Raske, for his car ran to the side of the road and hit a tree. The body of the car and the top were badly Eescked, according to Officer William azel. New Trier Book Store to Be Open Next Week The book store at New Trier High school will be open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of next week from 9 o'clock to 12 noon, daily, according to David E. Johnson, manager. Since school opens Monday, September 10, Mr. Johnson suggests that students Firchase their books and supplies next wee Ga EGE Here They Are Folks! Our Who's Who Winners Contestants literally swamped the WINNETKA TALK Who's Who editor this week and when the checking process had been completed after 9 o'clock Thursday morning, he feebly announced the winners, stag- gered to his waiting car and was whisked away to the northwoods for a long spell of rest. The winners were announced as follows : First prize ... E. A. Belmont, 1036 Spruce street. Second prize ...........$15 Frank Belmont, 1036 Spruce street. Third prize Russell F. Smith, 804 Oak street. Fourth prize ........:. $2.50 A. L. Fell, 786 Elm street. Fifth prize Florence Anthony, 723 Oak street. The generous response our Who's Who contest evoked indicates that our Winnetka business people are pretty well known throughout the community. Matching pictures to names, these contestants, with scat- tered few exceptions, are all entitled to no less distinction than honorable mention. Unfortunately only the first five correct answers received at the TALK's Winnetka office were en- titled to take away cash awards. Win or no, however, everybody had a lot of fun, including the tempor- arily incapacitated Who's Who editor. Village to Battle Against Plague of Cottony Maple Scale The soft maple trees on the village parkways have become badly infected with cottony maple scale. The village, realizing the seriousness of the situation, has made arrange- ments to rent a large power sprayer and spray all trees which are infected. This work cannot be done while the leaves are on the trees, as the solu- tion used will burn the foliage. The work will start in October, or as soon as conditions permit. Residents who own trees in the vi- cinity where the sprayer is working may have their trees sprayed at cost, by phoning Winnetka 1294. It is hoped the residents will co- 'operate in the work, as all infected trees, both on parkways and private grounds, should be sprayed if this disease is to be entirely eliminated. Dr. James A. Richards Will Return Next Week Dr. James Austin Richards of the Winnetka Congregational church and his family are expected back from their vacation in the east Friday, Sep- tember 7. They have been at Bridge- ton, Me, since the early part of July. Dr. Richards will preach at the Sun- day morning service September 9. To- morrow the Rev. Paul Hutchinson will preach at the morning service, GARDENS WIN AWARDS North Shore People Take Many Prizes in Chicago Tribune Second Annual Home Garden Contest That some of the finest flower gar- dens in the Chicago area may be found along the north shore was again demonstrated when announcement was made recently of winners in the Chi- cago Tribune's second home flower garden contest.

Evidence of that fact was apparent- ly brought to light this week by no less a distinguished delegation than Prohibition Administrator E. C. Yel- lowley's belligerent cohorts who, armed with Federal warrants, guided by Winnetka's constabulary and at the instance of the Winnetka Village council, conducted a judiciously planned raid upon five local business establishments, in four of which, it was said, they secured evidence tend- ing to indicate that the places in ques- tion probably constituted the hub of a vast and vicious bootlegging indus- try which, unless checked post haste, was destined to corrupt the morals of our citizenry. Raid Six Locations However that may be, it is now a matter of solemn record that certain persons connected with five local com- mercial establishments were served with warrants charging them with actual participation in or responsibility for the sale of intoxicating beverages on the premises in question. These places are listed briefly as follows: Suburban Nash Sales Service Station, Wersted Motor company, F. T. Rich- ardson garage, barber shop in the North Shore line Elm street station, and the Hubbard Woods Cafe; also the place of one Palmer Giambastian, said to be the chief of police in North- field, a hamlet to the west of the vil- lage. 5 : Chief Peterson, together with assist- ants he had retained for the purpose, had been garnering evidence of alleged Prohibition law violations at the be- hest of the Village council, according to Village Manager H. L. Woolhiser. The trustees, Mr. Woolhiser explained, following conferences regarding re- ed violations, had directed Chief AE to present evidence, if any, before that body. Such evidence hav- ing been subsequently submitted, the council ordered the police head to in- form the federal authorities. Arrests of alleged purveyors and owners the business places, last Monday, came as a climax to the general scheme of investigation. Impressive Sponge Squad The Federal sponge squad of twenty, headed by George H. Hurlburt, and deputy United States marshals pro- ceeded with their task on the strength of evidence gathered by two opera- tives who, under the direction of Chief of Police Peterson, had been working on the Winnetka cases since July 31. Those served with warrants included Frank Woolley of the Suburban Nash Sales Service station, who is charged 'with selling liquor; William T. and Otto Wersted of the Wersted Motor company in whose place of business it was said liquor had been purchased; "Charlie" and "Jim," colored men em- (Continued on Page 6)
