Lieber at Elm Station Twenty years ago next Thursday, when Winnetka was a village of only stepped off a passenger train and within a few minutes thereafter, was checked in as station agent for that company. He has been here continuously since, and next week, at Thanksgiving time, Mr. Lieber will incorporate among the many things for which he has to be thankful, the fact that he was per- mitted to come to this community for his life's work and furthermore, that he has been permitted to stay right here. Mr. Lieber came to Winnetka from { Pleasant Prairie, Wis., at which place |he also was agent for the same com- | pany. | ploy | for thiry-three years. In fact, he has been in the em- of the North Western railroad And this is how closely he has attended to the duties of his office. For the first thirty-one years of that time, he took only a two weeks vacation, and during the thirty- three years he has had only three va- cations, and the last two during the past two years were made somewhat necessary, because of his health. To- day, however, he is quite as active as ever, although he admits that he does not attempt to take the part in civic affairs that he once did.

W. F. Davies as minister of Religi- ous Education and out of whose com- ing grew the present Community House development. Mr. Lieber re- calls with just pride, the first meet- ing in connection with the Community House movement, the spontaneous out- pouring of sentiment in its favor, the liberal cash donations to make it a go, and which have been coming forth ever since with the progress and growth of the community. He recalls the growth of the village from year to year until now, instead of a population of only 3,500 there are upwards of 11,000 people and through- out this growth the same high ideals of citizenship and community pride have been maintained. Watches Developments He recalls that when he came to Winnetka there was only the Horace Mann school building, and with pride stresses the fact that there are now world renowned. He recalls the old Village hall, the remodeling of which into one of the finest central fire stations in the state is just now being completed, and for the present village capitol building has but to look across a pretty little park west of the station to see the beauti- ful structure which has taken its place. And in the growth and advancement of the churches of the village, the vari- ous civic improvements, such as streets and park development, and the build- ing of hundreds of new and beautiful homes, he also is informed, and then explains, "you would be surprised to know how many people come to the ticket window every week to ask some question about Winnetka." It is needless to say that Mr. Lieber, ovine, and admiring Winnetka as he does, has been a persistent booster for four fine public schools, excellent and | the village and has had a large share in its growth and development along the high ideals which it features. He tells those who are seeking information with a view of making Winnetka their home, all these things, and also im- presses upon them that there is room for them too. The business of the Chicago North Western railroad has kept apace with the growth of the village. The same efficiency in passenger service is now enjoyed as at any time, modern trains comprising seven, eight and even nine cars whereas they used to be, when there were not so many people to haul, only three and four car trains. The growth of the freight business has also been tremendous. Twenty years ago there was only one short team track, extending from Elm to Pine street and that was also sufficient to serve the freight house. Now there is ten times that facility with tracks extending through to Eldorado street and an ever pressing demand for more. Twenty years ago the M. K. Meyer Lumber yards extended down to Elm street and there was a lot of swampy ground thereabout. Linden, Ridge and 'Elm streets were [the only streets on the west side that were paved, and many of the streets on the east side had not yet been paved. With this retrospective, Mr. Lieber is approaching next Thursday, the national day for giving thanks, and the twentieth anniversary of his com- ing to Winnetka, with a glad heart and much, indeed, for which he is thankful.
