WINNETKA TALK January 30, 1926 Claim Local Shopping Is Not Best ?? 1. Do local merchants charge too much for their mer- chandise? No--We, Edwards & Son, defy any responsible party or parties to find our merchandise inferior in quality or higher in price than those in the downtown stores (sales excepted). Saving 25% is ridiculous. 2. Do you save money by going to Chicago? We will guarantee to refund any difference in price of merchandise that you can buy downtown at prices cheaper than those of ours. Quality of the article to be considered. 3. Do our salespeople leave you with a distasteful feel- ing? If so, we would be glad to have you report any such matter to us at once. We feel that we have had, at all times, clerks who have been most courteous in every re- spect, not only in sales, but to see that you get a delivery service that is punctual (hourly deliveries). Have we ever disappointed you? If so, and you have any com- plaint or suggestion to offer, we will be more than glad to hear from you personally. 4. Is it irritating to go shopping and not find what you want? Yes, it is. But do you realize that it would be most impossible for us to carry every little item that some- times we would not have a call for once a year. It would not only be "dead stock" but add so much to our over- head that it would make it impossible for us to maintain the low selling prices that are now prevailing. And, isn't it much better for us to use every effort to accom- modate you by "getting it for you" and thereby save you time, car fare and worry? We feel that our years of hardware experience is ap- preciated by our townsfolk. We have put in every effort to accommodate you in every way and your patronage, for which we thank you, has made us realize that our efforts have been appreciated. And we wish to say again that we defy any party or parties to find downtown prices more reasonable than ours (sales excepted). Wm.

The removal will take place during the mid-year vacation, February 1 to 9, with registration for the second semester in the new prem- ises February 9, and the opening of classes February 10. The college, founded in 1886 by Eliz- abeth Harrison, has grown rapidly and for the past thirteen years has oc- cupied the old Gates residence, 2944 South Michigan avenue, using an in- creasing number of adjoining residences each year for dormitory purposes. The new dormitory in Evanston has been leased for a term of ten years. Spacious Auditorium The administration building on the campus of three and a half acres, which extends from Sheridan road to the canal, is a three-story structure of rose brick with stone trim, Collegi- ate-Gothic in type. In the center of the building is the auditorium with in- clined balcony and main floor accom- modating an audience of 800. The stage of the auditorium, separated from the gymnasium by sound-proof doors, may be enlarged to include the entire gymnasium for competitive games, pageants and demonstration classes. The first floor provides also administrative offices, class rooms and the alumnae club room. On the second floor are additional class rooms, conference rooms for the Supervision department, and the psy- chological laboratory with small testing rooms. The two floors will meet the needs of the school for the present semester. The third floor, to be completed later, will provide a library, music hall, art and sewing rooms, science laboratory and domestic science unit. The manual training rooms are located in the base- ment. Accommodates 500 Students The building is unique in the special fitness of each unit for the work to be carried on there. When fully com- pleted it will accommodate 500 young women students in training for teach- ing in the nursery school, kindergarten and elementary grades; a demonstra- tion school of 250 children, and classes for parents and others interested in child welfare. The dormitory building is located at the corner of Asbury avenue and Cen- tral street, within walking distance of the college. This building is also of brick and stone, with three floors, "U" shaped, and has a wide court with the entrance from Asbury avenue. The second and third floors provide four suites, each accommodating 50 students and a chaperone, and including, in ad- lition to bed rooms, a parlor and kitchenette for informal parties. In the main floor are the general parlors, dining room, lounges and study rooms.
