Ketn, Chtcago, I wtsh to take this opportunity of calling to your attention the splendid service rendered by the North Shore Line in connection with the operation of the eight car train from Chicago to Racine and return for our visit to the 68th Annual Conclave .of the Wisconsin Grand Commandery, Knights Templar. On our train were delegates from WoOdlawn, Miz..( pah, Chevalier Bayard and Montjoie Co1nmanderies. The dining car service furnished in our two special diners was all that could be wished for. Apollo Commandery has traveled from coast to coast· attending the Annual Condaves of the Order since 1847, and I think it can safely be said that no transp0rtation agency has ever furnished a better service." t": Every Hour North Evanston Property Is 'Bought by Syndicate \Valter G.
