2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1919 THROUGH TRAINS OVER L TRACKS TO | CHICAGO, SAYS BUDD { Cheaper and more convenient] transportation between Chicago and! north shore points appeared in pros-| pect this weele when Britton I. Budd. | president of the Chicago elevated] lines, admitted that negotiations for the operation of North Shore electric trains direct to the loop had reached] their final stage. He implied that a| definite announcement might be ex- pected shortly: ord The preliminaries have been in| progress for more than three years, | and contemplate the use of the tracks of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad between Foster ave-| nue, Evanston, and Wilson avenue, Chicago. : North Shore electric trains now| use the St. Paul company's tracks be-| tween Central street and Foster,| where a spur leads to the electric depot at Church street. From Cen- | tral street the North Shore com-| pany's own right of way extends to Milwaukee. ! The operation of regular elevated trains between Foster and Wilson avenue, where the Northwestern branch or the elevated begins, has] been in progress for years. The new ' negotiations cover merely the opera- tion of the North Shore trains over the same right of way, which would dispense with the necessity of trans- ferring passengers either at Davis street or Central street, as now 1s practiced.

I | am off that water cooled stuff for life." "I like to be comfortable. Can drive my Franklin all day, and en- joy it, but those bumping water cooled cars get my goat." "A neighbor of mine has had a Franklin Sedan for two years, and has never had any trouble with it, and he uses it two or three times as much as I use my car and has never had a tire off. It has cost me over $500.00 for tires and repairs in the past two years, so I think it's about time for me to see about getting a Franklin." "] have driven Franklins for eight years and average about one puncture a year. One of my neighbors has a car and he has a flat tire about once a week, so he rides down with me every few mornings. I think he is about due to buy a Franklin." 90 0006 80 LA) 009.0% %%% %° s Cant Increase when you 'Own Your Own Hour "A MAN'S Home Is His Castle" -- he's master of that domain.

With rents on the increase, thousands of Chicago people are going to own their own place for the first time in their lives. They're gong to BUILD at once, while materials, labor, and moderate prices are available. Building Prices Relatively Low Prices of building materials have struck a fair level, which economists say will probably hold. When vou figure on putting up a house or apart- ment you'll find costs lower than you thought. You don't need all the money to build--there are Chicago builders who will put up vour home for a paym nt down of only 10% or Building and Loan Associations and Banks will loan approximat:ly 60% of the total value of your property--you pay off the loan as rent.

We made a similar trip two years agoina -------------- car and the Franklin has got it all over the water cooled cars in every way." "The best deal I ever made was when I traded you my 8-cylinder Sedan and touring cars and got a Franklin Sedan and Club Road- ster." "Say, boy! You couldn't buy my Franklin Sedan for $5,000.00." "My two front tires have gone 30,200 miles on my Franklin coupe." "My wife used to say, 'William, you're bugs over your Fran | car,' but when we were in Flori- {da this winter we were obliged | to use taxis occasionally. Now | she says she never wants to ride | in a water cooled car, as they are | too much like a lumber wagon." | | | "When we went East last | summer we drove to Cleveland, 401 miles, the first day. I was in the front seat alone, my wife and little girl in the back seat. Am told that fellows with water cool- ed cars make Cleveland the sec- ond night's stop.
