| July 10, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Winnetkans Sell Peonies to Swell Tribune Ice Fund Thinking of hot, sick, little babies living in back rooms above alleys, and of their weary mothers, and then thinking of Winnetka's shaded streets, with a cool lake to plunge into, golf courses to play on, showers and swim- ming pools, Mrs. R. Hofeld, 1131 Lau- rel avenue, Winnetka, sold 245 dozen peonies that she procured from the Northbrook gardens, for the benefit of the Chicago Daily Tribune Ice Fund for sick babies. Mrs. Hofeld, assisted by little Georgia Schoenthal, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Schoenthal, 159 Eu- clid avenue, Dan Wachs, son of Mr." and Mrs. Theodore Wachs, 1144 Hamptondale road, and Allen Robin- son, of Oakley avenue, Winnetka, took the peonies and sold them on Sheridan road, to people driving by. It meant work, and took persever- ence to sell the flowers and a worthy cause was benefited. Rev. Goodwin to Return From Vacation Next Week Rev. Thomas A.

Some slight modern ad- ditions might make a more salable house. We'd be glad to talk this matter over with you. We read this in a trade paper: "By prompt action the fire com- pany finally succeeded in saving the cement sidewalk in front of the building." The Courtesy Home Service Co. just completed 600 feet of sidewalk on Provident Ave. near Willow St. Ask them about Alpha Ce- ment. Al Herman says he knows a fellow who drew up a note for $200, and then wrote across the face of it,--""If this note is not paid when Winnetka Coal - Lumber Co, due, it becomes null and void." We're going right over to the bank and have them put that clause on ours. We can provide you with French doors, mirror doors, breakfast nooks, window seats and all those little art%tic touches that make your home more liveable. Ever hear of the Arkansas farm- er who complained about the long sickness of his wife. He said, "I shore do wish she'd git well or ERS) somethin'. The E. S. Wisdom Real Estate Co., are planning to build several homes in and around Winnetka. Mr. J. H. Patterson of Wilmette is superintendent of construction.
