Their raison d'etre is to add to the building fund for the new Winnetka Congregational church : "There are fifty-two days until Christmas, and we want .you to 'be calm in the midst of 'Shop Early' slogans because we know that it will pay you to wait for the Yule Lane Holiday Shops. There will be things that you do not see in other shops, very lovely handmade articles that the women of Winnetka have been fashioning the past summer and interesting foreign things brought back by some of our travelers. There will be gifts to fit all requirements; elegant and luxurious ones as well as the practical kind that are well liked because of their usefulness. "The 3ook shop, under the direction of Mrs. Sherman Aldrich and Mrs. Austin D. Jenkins, is going to have a lovely selection of children's books.
