2 WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY AUGUST 1 1924 Store Folk· Have Bu·y 7ime When Wedneaday Come· The employes, managers, and owners of the eleven Wilmette stores which close on Wednesday afternoons during the summer have different ways of utilizing the brief vacation periods every week. Some visit the bathing beaches; others take in the ball games; some attend the matinees at the Chicago theaters; others seek knowledge at the public li()rarics; some of the men are fascinated hy the perch in the lake shore district ; and a few of the women spend their time at home sewing, housecleaning and gardening. The workers are in the stores on Saturday evenings because of the late closing hour and they find their mid-week vacation time appropriate for "hobby" activities. The Wilmette shops that are closed on Wednesday afternoon during the months of July and August include the Carroll Ridgway company, Unique Style Strop, Cecile Shop, Flinker and Flinker, R. H. Schell company, McAllisterWarthen Dry Goods, Taylor Dry Goods, Wilmette Glass Works, Terminal Hardware company, Griffis and Wolff company aud Carl E. Slerner Decorating company. Villqe Mauger Enjoys Mountain Climbs in East Village Manager C. C. Schultz is back at his desk from a fortnight's vacation in the east. He and Mrs. Schultz spent the time, after a ftying trip to Boston and one or two other Bay State points, traversing the White Mountain region in the vicinity of Manchester, N. H . Mr. Schultz says these pine-clad hills are of unsurpassed beauty and that his brief sojourn in that region ~as ~me. of the most delightful intervals m has hfe. At Manchester, too, he visited the Amo keag cotton mills, said to be the large t of that type in the world. "My mountain trip did me a world of good," Mr. Schultz declared. "For two whole weeks I was relieved of every care and was most of the time beyond the range even of a telepho~e. I did nothing but enjoy myself . by. hrll climbing and it was a novel and mvagorating experience. In Our Vaults you can store any valuable tnerchandise that you may not care to leave around the house during the vacation season when you are away. Your small papers and jewelry will, of course, be in a safety deposit box, but remember that bulky boxes, chests, trunks, and so forth can be accommodated in our vaults. Talk over your requirements with one of us. Beach Records Broken U · Warm Wave Hits Village More than 1,400 people visited the Wilmette bathing beach Sunday, thus establi5hing the record of the year. The warm weather has increased the patronage heavily, according to Beachmaster Francis Bradley. There have been more than 1,000 bathers each day since the beginning of the warm spell. During the week-day mornings, the beach is filled with children of all ages. Some of them arrive at the lake front two hours hefore the guards come on duty, and play in the sand. Every time an older person is seen coming down the stairs, the children jump up and run in the beach house to be the first in line to get to the dressing rooms. Others who are all dressed for the water and have their robes on, linger near the <ihore as they are prohibited from taking the plunge until the guards arrive. Imaginative Motorists Give Bathera a Thrill "'Nhere are the life guards, quick?" two excited motorists exclaimed at the Wilmette bathiug heach Monday evening ; "we saw two bodies floating near the shore," they continued. A number of bathers who were preparing to leave the beach overheard the excited appeal aud rushed to the indicated scene of horor, bent in getting a genuine thrill. The life guards hurried their boats out and plied their oar in the direction indicated by the overwrought motori ts. The crowd ncar the shore grew larger and larger, pedestrians and motorists near Sheridan road came down seeking the cau:,e of the unusual flurry . The guards in the boat sea rched and searched, near the pier, out on the lake. around the heacl1, but they could find no bodies. It was dusk now, and aided l>y the irregular pathway formed hy the 1110011, and the light thrown from the .. earchlights on the bathing beach, the guards continued their search, and the crowd along \M &hoY· dnw a.w ealistments. After a thorough combing of the neighborhood, the guards gave up the search, while the large crowd of stragglers on the shore, disappointed, left the beach. "That was certainly some scare," one of the life guards said the following day. Anta In the autar· In the IINad, In pantry ancl cloMta. On~ ther set In, · ...,..... ~ .........
