Going back for a period of four years, the business for the fiscal year ending June 30, just past, is 80.70 per cent greater than that of four years ago. The steady increase in Uncle Sam's business at Winnetka is not attribut- able to the addition of factories or in- dustries, but to thé natural growth in population which this favored sec- tion of the north shore enjoys. Four years ago, Postmaster Elmer E. Adams found it necessary to double the space for post office purposes in the village. Today, he says the crowded condition is just as bad, or : | worse than it was four years ago, all due to the increase in business.
