been a great year in Kenosha and has
witnessed big growth in the city in
all of it's varied interests. The large
manufacturing concerns of the city
have grown larger during the year, the
number of men employed has been in
creased and the output of finished pro-

of the new city hall and the completion
of the pavement on Ashland avenue.
