WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOV. 20, 1920 ------ ' 7 fl Jans and Lamke Buy Motor Firm Oakland-Phillips Salesroom, Garage Turns Over Business Partnership to New Peter N. Jans and Earl J. Lamke have purchased the Oakland-Phillips garage and sales station at 1013-17 Davis street, Evanston, from the Oakland-Phillips company and will conduct the business under a part-| nership organization. Lamke will be remembered by old Northwestern fans as a former bas- ketball star for the Purple. He play- ed with the Methodist five from 1909 until 1912, when he graduated. He was captain of the team in 1912 After his graduation he went to Cali- fornia, where he was agent for the Franklin car. He intends to make his home in Evanston. The new firm will retain the name, handle the cars and furnish the ser- vice which made the old company famous. Peter Jans was secretary and treasurer of the Oakland-Phil- lips company and is also treasurer of the Evanston Electrc company. "The Oakland-Phillips company has been noted for its service," he said this week, "and we intend to main- tain the same standard. The heating and lighting arrangements and the fact that a suspension roof has elim- inated all posts has made the garage one of the most attractive on the north shore and we recommend it to the attention of "all prospective customers." NORTH SHORE TO HAVE AUTOMOBILE EXHIBIT The north shore will have an auto- mobile show, locally managed and participated in by practically every dealer in this vicinity. The Evanston Automobile Dealers association has undertaken the enter- prise, and negotiations are now under way for a suitable location. The show, which promises to the the largest and most complete ever staged on the north shore, is to be held in, the spacious show rooms of the Oakland-Phillips Motor com- pany at 1013-17 Davis street, Evans- ton on December 1, 2, 3 and 4. Fourteen dealers have agreed to enter the show. This comprises all the automobile dealers in Evanston. They will each be allotted space for the display of three cars. This will allow for a total showing of 42 auto- "mobiles. Enclosed types, sedans, coupes, and coupelets, will probably pre dominate in the display, but there will be a large enough proportion of open cars to give the public a good survey of the entire field. There will be many 1921 models on exhibit, and a number of secial auto- mobiles. The show room will be elaborately decorated in autumr foliage and col- ors. The following committee chairmen have been appointed to conduct the Automobile show: Management committee, Peter N. Jans. Sign committee, Earl Coal. Printing and Advertising commit- tee, R. D. Cunningham. Music committee, C. H. Briggs. Rules committee, Benjamin E. Gage. = Decorating committee, C. M. Mec- Donald. Latest models of the following cars will be on display at the Automobile show : Reo, H. C. Stutz, Auburn, Scripps- Booth, Maxwell, Paige, Moon, Stude- baker , Elgin, Hupmobile Franklin, Willys-Knight, Overland, Jackson, Nash, Stearns, Cleveland, Stephens, Chandler, Buick, Dodge, Lexington, National, Hudson, Essex, Ford, Mil- burn, Oakland and Sheridan. A subscription of twenty-five cents will be taken at the door. A map -- showing the location of each dealer's space displaying the respective cars the ysell will be incerted in this paper next week--Watch for it! NO FEATHERWEIGHT SECTION IN 1920 BASKETBALL LEAGUE North shore followers of prep basketball may be disappointed to hear that the Suburban league has discarded the featherweight section of the organization. The disappointment need only be momentary, however, when one con- siders that the abolition of the in- fant quintet will mean added strength on the light and heavyweight teams. Not much can be said in regard to the basketball prospects at New Trier High school for the coming struggles further than that Coach Childs will begin working on championship heavy and lightweight teams as soon as the soccer and football schedules terminate. There will be a featherweight squad at New Trier for a short time before the regular season and games will be booked with several city teams after which the feathers will disband.
