WINNETKA TALK March 12, 1927 I§ THE CUT IS FINE! The fit, snug and exact, the style up-to-date, the tailoring perfect and material both fashionable and durable. Just a few remarks descriptive of one of our suits that are at- tracting such a lot of favor- able comments at the present time, on account of their ex- ceptional quality and low cost. > H. E. ODHNER Cleaning $8 Pressing 1050 Gage St. Tel. Winn. 278 See It Now! | CALDWELL Few people now-a-days cut large lawns with hand mowers. We have a great many people in Win- netka who use the CALDWELL POWER MOWER, illustrated. They are keeping their lawns in a better con- dition with the power mower and roller . . . and they are appreciating a considerable saving over the slow hand mower. With the addition of detachable units, this mower is adaptable to large and small spaces. CALDWELL have been manufacturing mowers since 1867 . . . and every park in Chicago uses CALDWELL machines. We have on our floor, a "CALDWELL" for your inspection. A phone call asking for descrip- tive folder will receive our early attention. E. B. Taylor Hardware Co. 546 Center St. Phones Winnetka 998-999 Puts Pneumatics on Fire Department's Old Pumper Truck The smaller of the two pumpers which comprise the engine equipment of the Winnetka Fire department and which was put into use seven years ago last November, is being equipped with pneumatic tires. The wheels are now being cut down preparatory to the change. In place of the old solid rubber tires on which Chief G. M. Houren and his men have all these years whisked the faithful pumper hither and yon over the vil- lage to do battle with fires both large and small, they will soon be riding on pneumatics, size 40 by 8. Chief Houren says it's good economy to make this change. The solid rubber tires are hard on the apparatus, the life of which it is estimated will be prolonged a number of years by the pneumatics. Now that the department has its large new pumper to use, it is consid- ered an opportune time to have this work done. Davies and Goodwin Preach at Congregational Church Dr. J. W. F. Davies will preach the Sunday morning sermon at Winnetka Congregational church, his sermon topic being, "An Adventurous Invita- tion." The topic for the sermon at the evening service, at 8 o'clock, by Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, will be, "Where Prayer Leads." Rev. James Austin Richards is in the East, and on Sunday morning will preach at Welles- ley, Mass., and will also speak at the vesper service at Walnut Hill school, Natick, Mass., Sunday evening. He will return home the first part of next week. "Famous Mrs. Fair" Plays to Capacity House Both Nights By CRITIC "The Famous Mrs. Fair" played Wednesday and Thursday evenings to full houses. Again Mrs. Louis Sher- man delighted the audiences with charming stage settings. Mrs. Roger Ballard played the famous Mrs. Fair in good taste and with attractive per- sonality. Mrs. Ballard is always wel- come on the stage. Sylvia, the daugh- ter, was most agreeably presented by Mrs. Wm. Sidley, Jr., who plays with the Drama Club for the first time, but who has had much experience in ama- teur work. Wm. Boyden, Jr. did his usual good work as Mr. Fair, adding that role to his well-liked ones of Scrooge and Henry IV. It is pleasant to welcome Chas. Matz back to the drama group. His interpretation of young Alan Fair was very sincere and satisfactory. Lloyd Faxon as Mr. Gillette did better work than ever before and maintained the even balance of the cast. Mrs. Harry Barnum as Mrs. Augie Bryce had a small but vital part in the un- folding of the plot and was, as a'ways, tvery much at ease on the stage. "Mrs. Fair's Unit" was a great asset. Mrs. Freeman, Mrs. Graff, Miss Tibbals, and Mrs. Hinrichs added mirth and laughter to the evening. Mrs. Chas. Matz made a brief but charming ap- pearance as Peggy Alan Fair's fiancee, and we hope to see her again. Mrs. Scharf was in charge of the stage and Jack Hazelhurst of lighting; Mrs. R. F. Feagans of properties; Mrs. Roger Ballard of costumes; Mrs. Washburne of make-up; Mrs. Louis Sherman of stage settings. KEach made a valued contribution.
