The other evening at about 5 o'clock I boarded the Chicago-bound subur- ban. What impressed me as I walked through ih^wcoaches was the great number of working men. And at each station, even more of these -horny handed lotos Of toil" found places in the red plush seats until, as we passed Evanston, the tram^^as v literajly crowded with toilers. â€" A day or two later, my family and I motored in our fliver down to Evans- ton. I was impressed with the number "of substantial suburban homes under construction Onall side^. Hiardly had we^fttron^gfcihii^ peared. Not millionaire mansions, for the most part, but just comfortable, pretty homes. Train Loads of Workers I. now understood why the train car- ried so many workers. Why, as I later learned, entire trains are needed to bring to work and take home again the hundreds of toilers who labor the north shore: A year ago building activities seem- ed more pronounced; now they seem more normal, though still maintained at a high average. Construction, checked for so many months by post- war labo§| troubles, Was suddenly loosed last year like pent-up waters, but the flow Of construction is still high and seems likely to continue above normal for some time. In fact, realtors are authority for the infor- mation that building on the north shore will continue more; or less una* bated over an indefinite period in the future because the north shore is the most desirable neighborhood of Chi- cago.; ::-'â- -â- ::â-  â-  , â- ' ?S^::?;":^lil§lliillS It is noteworthy^ to IcBnsider ^e pleasant fact that, quite uniformly, the homes built in the north shore villages are of the most substantial character. Architecture is in pleasing varietyâ€"there are the bungalows of varied resign, Dutch Colonial, Spanish Mission,'Colonial types and others but the outstanding feature is the impres- sion of permanence every new home provides. Homes are being built, not ~ttrbe sold within; a month, or a year or five years, but to house families, who, weary of city congestion, are planning "to make the beautiful, home-like north shore their permanent â-  residence.--:: :;>;|2 i These are merely the notesi-^f"^S casual observer but none the less sig- nificant on :iltitv.acc6tiht;^:^:#aW'^dt- looking for new buildings j they forced 'ijea^lves3^ If ic Work FrM^uPp7.^: f- : By These Stone-Cutters -s5n a modest enough building locat- ed just ;west of Vthe tracks in Kehil- worth, is coris<|ittcjted one of the tnjst unique industries in thi^ vicinityli |g Reference is ^S |he Richalds Broth* ers stone-cutting works. ^Here is turned out much of the beautiful stone work seen, on north shw ingS. .r. vj^pg^^^ Artistic^Inscribes the products pi this workshop.
