WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1924 PLAN VAST FAIR AT PATTEN GYM Women of Northwestern 'U' Schedule County Event for Three Days In June PROMISE BIG EXHIBIT Program Is Jammed with Amusements Galore The County Fair, which is scheduled for three days--June 19, 20," 21--at the Patten gymnasium, Northwestern university, and which will be one of the paramount events on the north shore this year, is being planned by the women of the Northwestern University Settlement boards in Winnetka and Evanston. It is announced that merchants of Evanston and other localities along the north shore, together with nationally known firms from other parts of the country will be represented at the exhibit. Promoters of the big event say that the booths are being rapidly taken and that only a few remain to be sold. They add that the exhibitors are planning to have elaborate displays. Joy Chasers Take Heed Out door amusements, such as merry- go-rounds, a Ferris wheel, miniature railroads, pony rides, a Punch and Judy show, games of almost every descrip- tion, fortune telling and motion pictures are only a few of the various attractions promised for the edification of young and old persons who will attend the fair. It is hardly worth the reminding that such essentials as soft drinks, pea- nuts, cracker jack, balloons, toys and whatnot will be there in abundance. And in addition to all these lures to draw vast crowds to the place, the know- ones declare that an attractive tea room, where luncheon and supper will be serv- ed, is an assured fact. Music and danc- ing will follow these triumphs of the chef's art, See What's Promised For one price of admission the visitor may witness four great shows, each lasting three-quarters of an hour. They will include a Fashion show; Hill's Dog and Pony circus; Shubert, the world's greatest contortionist; the Duncan Sis- ters, Polish dancers and a group of comedy acrobats. And, by the way, there will be a con- test in which the visitors at the fair will vote on the ten best booths at the exhibit. Prizes will be awarded each day to the ten voters whose choice most nearly approximates the majority vote. These prizes will include a bicycle, camera, radio, victrola, evening gown, sport dress, suitcase, traveling bag, two lamps and an electric fan. The advance sale of the coupon books begins this week. By this arrangement, the buyer makes a 20 percent saving. It is planned to sell 4,000 books in towns from Evanston to Lake Forest.

Little damage was done, according to Chief Houren. CADDIES WANTED SUNSET RIDGE COUNTRY CLUB Opens May 30th, 1924 Klotz Road just North of Willow Road For particulars telephone Alfred V. Horsman, Chairman CADDY COMMITTEE / Winnetka 267 Pete' and 'Ivy' Take Charge of Union Squabble About fifteen stalwart members of the Milk Drivers' union met up with two of Winnetka's policemen early Wednesday of this week, with the result that the lo- cal constabulary's collection of "shoot- ing-irons," "cannons," and "Lugres," more commonly classified as revolvers, was enhanced by two highly interesting specimens. The incident was in connection with a ruction in the drivers' ranks of the Winnetka Sanitary Dairy, John Kiewik, proprietor, members of which advised Chicago union officials that the local milk dealer had dismissed two "card" men only recently recruited from the ranks of the non-union workers. Two automobile loads of union men appeared at the dairy to enter formal complaint, demanding a conference with Kiewik. Their rumblings came to the attention of Chief Peterson who im- mediately dispatched himself and Ser- geant Iverson to the scene for purposes of investigation. "Pete" and his able col- league next proceeded with a quiet "frisking" party which netted a brace of ugly-looking bandit pistols. Kiewik and a committee selected from the Chicago delegation then went into conference and after five hours decided the dairy would become strictly union insofar as its employes were concerned. Kiewik was voluble in his laudations of Winnetka's police department, particu- larly that portion of it which encounter- ed the Chicago gun-toters. TOM BROWN IS GIVEN SALES MANAGER POST Closely following the recent opening of their Lake Forest office, under Cowles and Taylor, Gilbert D. John- son and Brother, north suburban real estate dealers, 110 S. Dearborn street, Chicago, announce the enlarging of their loop office space, as well as an increase in their sales force.
