6 WILMETTE o~oc:====~o~oc:====~o~o~ LIFE ] une 21 , 1929 ~o~o a D MITcHELL's HAT SHoP . ! Importer _. Designer Burglars Bore Way Into Blann's Drug Store, [(enilworth Burglars again visited the Ralph Blann Pharmacy, 52~ Kenilworth avenue, Kenilworth, early Tuesday mortltng, carrying away merchandise e timated in value at $400 or over. Mr. Blann's stock of cigars and cigarets was completely cleaned out, he reports, and quantities of fountain pens, kodaks, high grade perfumes and morphine tab lets were among otber articles which attracted the intruders. It "·as only nine weeks ago that ~d r. Blann lost between $500 and $600 worth of merchandise in a similar manner. The burglars on the first visit gained an entrance by forcing a window, and on their departure went out the re:.tr door, which they locked, taking the key with them. Early Tuesday morning, presumably during the storm, they returned, but found the windows barred and the door securelv fastened on the inside h\' both a metai 'bolt and a two bv four timber across it and secured at either side. That the "job" Tuesday morning was executed hy those who had knowledge of the manner in which the door was locked, is evidenced by the fact that the burglars came armed with a brace and a one-inch bit, with which thev drilled twenty-eight holes in the doo~, enoug-h at either side to permit an opening through which they were able to remoye the timber and bolt. This i. the third seriou~ los \Yhich ).fr: Diann has sustained since opening his . torr on December 23 last Year. In addition to the t\YO burglarie. he lost con . iderable stock stored in the ha:-;ement during .floods ahout Easter time.
