22 WINNETKA TALK November 19, 1927 ; | Chicago Location of New Coffee Roasting Industry One of the largest coffee roasting plants in the United States, the new Maxwell coffee plant on Pershing road, Chicago, was officially opened this | week when Mayor William Hale | Thompson cut the strings on the first | bag of coffee used. The establishment of the new Chi- cago plant of the Cheek-Neal Coffee company, the seventh of a nation-wide chain of plants now roasting Maxwell | House coffee, marks the latest step in | the romantic rise of a blend of coffee 8 | that was created in the old South, by a southerner with a genius for flavor. | Many years ago Joel Cheek perfected | the blend down in Nashville, Tenn, | where it was enthusiastically welcomed. | Maxwell House coffee soon became the | most popular coffee of all Dixie. But only in recent years has its fame spread throughout the entire country. We Sell Direct to the Individual [ | | { Bigger Value Better Clothes | Interdiats Sports Hold Interest of N. T.

Gains Popularity for "Mental Shop" Radio Broadcast The Woman's Exchange of Ideas, a "mental shop," is a novelty introduced by Martha Linn, the new daytime voice of WHT, who is a resident of Wil- mette. Here Miss Linn recites epi- grams, bits of verse, recipes and help- ful hints sent to her by the members of her daily audience which consists mainly of housewives. These contri- butions represent mental offerings to be exchanged among her listeners who are rapidly increasing because of the growing popularity of this novelty, for there are few people that exist who do not long to share their ideas with others. In the opinion of Martha Linn, dra- matic presentation will measure the success of the radio broadcasting of the future. More and more will the radio announcer be required to express his program dramatically as the mere novelty of hearing words and music by air is passing. Martha Linn herself, formerly an announcer over WSWS, has had long experience as a play- | wright and as a coach of theatricals. | She expresses delight in her new work lat WHT which is winning her new | friends daily. The popularity of her program has become universal and has secured her expressions of hearty ap- proval.
