WILMETTE LIFE July 19, 1929 Everything ~ssential to Ideal · Word Picture of Village Disclos· es Remarkable Completeness of Requisites · At a recent mt!eting of the North Shore Real Estate Board several short addresses were made by representatives of various north shore villages, setting forth the advan· tages of each.-A. J. Woodcock told of Wilmette and his address in part 1s here given. Co~mun~y Pre~nt ~~il~ette~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ trains circling the loop, and the elevated with its low fare and six-minute serv-; ice during rush hours are o!_her modes of transportation. Another outstanding feature which adds greatly to the beauty and attractiveness of Wilmette, and. for which much credit is due, is our garden clubs. Universal pride is taken in the upkeep of homes, planting and care of lawns, gardens, and ornamental shrubs, the whole village presenting the appearance of a \\~ell-kept park. The value of such environment to the development of growing boys and girls cannot be calculated but will be credibly reflected in their future lives. Thus it will be sect~ that Wilmett~ cmbra~es every essential n~cessary t_o mak~ It one of the. m.ost desirable restdenttal suburbs .wtthm easy access of the heart. of Chtcago. . . There Is ~>ut one thtng lackmg to ~lake the _Picture. co!11ple~~· and that IS our busllless chstnct. I he present huilding code has long stood -i!l the way of the proper development of business property. But, with a sufficien t chang<: in the cocle to permit the erection of artistic structures on property already zoned "~ommercial" many at)cient and makc-shtft structures that have long been a blight to the community will give ,,·a_y t_ o improv~ments of a character more in · harmony with our otherwise beautiful village. And it is to be hoped that this much neede9 change will be realized at an early date.
