WINNETKA TA1™w Published weekly by Lloyd Hollister, March 8, 1912, at the post office at Winnetka, Illinois, under the Act of March 8, 1879. Inec., 564 Lincoln Ave., Winnetka, Illinois. Entered as second class matter Subscription price $2.00 a year. VOL. XVI, NO. 7 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, APRIL 23, 1927 PRICE FIVE CENTS POST OFFICE TO MOVE INTO NEW HOME MAY 2 "New Quarters and Equipment Finest Obtainable Outside of Federal Building"--Braun On Monday, May 2, should you have occasion to go to the post office, kindly bear in mind that in place of journeying to the familiar old site on Lincoln avenue where you have been accustomed to going for the past twelve or thirteen years, it will be necessary to "go west," if you would keep up with Uncle Sam. That is the date on which the post office will open its spacious new quar- ters in the M. K. Meyer block at the northwest corner of Elm and Chestnut streets. All new furniture and equip= ment, which is expected to arrive at any time, will have been installed be- fore the opening date, and Postmaster J. C. Braun says the change will be made without the slightest interrup- tion in mail service. The new post office will floor space of approximately 3,100 square feet, Postmaster Braun ex- plains, an area much larger than the present quarters in which it has be- come almost impossible to -handle the business. The population of Winnetka has increased to such an extent dur- ing the past dozen years, that the room which was leased as a post office at that time, has become entirely in- adequate. The lease on the new quarters was made by the Post Office department with Mr. Meyers before he began the erection of his building, and the new post office quarters were built -ac- cording to the most modern plans for this work. In a word, Postmaster Braun says Winnetka's new postoffice is to be the finest thing of its kind north of Evanston. It is the best it is possible to obtain, he said, except perhaps in a government owned building, planned, built and devoted exclusively to post office work.
