OW that "Sunday Closing" is a dead issue with the North Shore Real Estate Board, some· of the member~ . are expressing themselves quite posthvely on the latest action. Andy Woodcock, the staunchest battler for open Sundays says: "We could not stop Sunday business by closing our offices, as long as there were others who would handle the busines s, if we didn't. The home owner who wants to sell, was not in sympathy with Sunday closing, nor was the buyer who travels fifteen miles on Sunday to look at property. These are the two chief ele- · .ments entering into the sale of real estate." The Board has renewed its membership in the Chicago Regional Planning Association for one year. The active associate membership of Charles R. Norman was transferred to Anneta V. Mead. The followin g applications, having been approved by the membership committee, were accepted by the Board: C. R. Norman of C. R. Norman & Co. for active membership. Harvey N. Bowen of H .. N. Bowen Co. for affiliated membership. Arthur Laser of the Hubbard Woods Trust & Savings Bank for affiliated membership. "A Beautiful Home~~~site" WESTMOOR TRAIL in WinDetka Once Gone ·, "' Always Gone "' .. Many people are considering WESTMOOR TRAILonly a few ~an be supplied. Once gone- always gone. The many people who are seriously considering WESTMOOR TRAIL are thinking of it as the · 14 Uitimate" in home-building-the final word. Most of them came to the North Shore content for the ~omen t to ~ake less than they wanted- satisfied, .at the ttme, to acquue what they could then conveniently obtain. For ma!ly reasons, such as more roo~ for larger families-the desue for great~r privacy-more room in grounds as well as house-to get farther out- away from traffic-in short, the reasons which originally impelled them to come to the suburbs-those advantages they now want to really obtain. ~en or fifteen years ago most everybody except those duectly engaged in the automobile business, predicted the Hsaturation" point just around the corner, since which time several million more cars have been added to the num.her then in use. More than three million families now have two cars or more. Ten. years from now, or sooner, a residence on the streets w.hich are · now little or only moderately used, will be comparable to a residence on a street car line or main thoroughfare of today. To those who have the vision to see it, to have a home on i hich through traffic can not be diverteda drive over W will have an advantage which can't be calculated in dollars and cents. The places in Winnetka remaining where this advantage offers as great an assurance of privacy as WESTMOOR TRAIL, are so few that they can be counted probably on one hand. And where they do exist-the cost is probably twice as much as orie can now obtain a plot in WESTMOOR TRAIL. Here is a plot of ground on Hibbard extending West to the Skokie Playfield-high and dry-( 49.8 feet elevation above lake level at Hibbard and Westmoor) sloping naturally and gradually South and West3 blocks to Hubbard Woods primary grade schoolhalf a mile to Skokie Junior High less than a mile to the Hubbard Woods station and a little over a mile to the Elm Street Stationnot too far-not too near; all of the advantages of the country plus all of the conveniences of the Village-freedotp from dust and smoke and dirtquiet-peaceful-serene-and beautifulwhere Nature is working continuously to keep you duly appreciative of her grandeur-painting beautiful pictures-ever changing- to fit all ·moods. Here, then, you may have the home you ultimately want, expressing your own individuality in a setting of which you will never tire. WESTMOOR TRAIL is worthy of your serious consideration. There are so few tracts available-those who realize its advantages first are those who will benefit most. Ask anyone who lives in the neighborhood the advantages of location. All will tell you the same storyall sing its praises. Nothing on the North Shore can compare with overlooking the Skokie. And those who live in Winnetka simply won't live elsewhere, as a matter of choice. Call me up and make an appoin'tment to see WESTMOOR TRAIL. If it is worth considering at all-it is worth having all its advantages pointed out which may not be apparent by casually driving by. Get all the facts-consider all the advantages-compare those advantages with anything else-find out who your neighbors will be--what the plan of development is. Then decide. The price won't deter you because it is much less than anything com· parable. Into the modern bathroom comes the white enameled steel shoe cabinet.
