CHICAGO COMPANY BUYS STOCK
Retiring Merchant Has Been Actively
Connected With the Retail Trade in
Kenosha For Many Years and Held
High Place Among the Merchants.
Thursday s Daily


Herman L. Molitor, for more than
thirty five years connected with the re-
tail dry goods business of Kenosha, re-
tired from business this afternoon and
tonight the Molitor store, which had
been one of the real institutions in
Kenosha business life for many years,
will be closed
Ill health forced Mr.. Molitor to give
ur his business and after the store
closes this evening the stock remaining
unsold will be turned over to the
Reveal Mercantile Company of Chicago.
The deal for the sale of the stock was
closed on Wednesday afternoon and the
stock will be shipped to Chicago
The retirement of Mr.. Molitor from
the active business life of Kenosha is
a matter of unusual interest as few men
in business in the city had been so long
connected with the retail trade. Mr.
Molitor came into Kenosha from the
farm in the town of Brighton way back
in 1879 and he began his business career
as a salesman in the store of Doan and
Brown. The old Doan and Brown store
had been the training ground for a lot
OF successful Kenoslra merchants and
Mr.. Molitor was connected with that
store for more than nine years. Then
he went over to the store Of Lentz and
Funck, one of the first of the general
stores in the city. He acted as manager
of the store for years and in 1896, in
company with II. j. Weinheimer, he
formed the firm of H. L. Molitor and
Company and took over the dry goods
business of the company. The store
grew rapidly and in short time it be-
came one of the largest stores of the
kind in this section of the state. In
1906 Mr.. Weinheimer retired and his
stock in the company was taken over
by Mr.. Molitor. The following year
the Molitor store was moved to the
new building at the corner of Church
and Park street.
The store always had an enviable
standing with the people of Kenosha
county and it was an open secret that
the store had greater patronage
among the people from the towns of
the county than any store in Racine or
Kenosha county. Mr.. Molitor main
tanned the high standard of the stock
and when it was decided to close up the
store the offers made for the stock were
far above the offers usually made in
such cases.
In his long business career in Keno
sha Mr.. Molitor has been one of the
most active supporters of Kenosha He
has had part in the advancement of
every organization planned to boost
trade in Kenosha and he has contribut-
e6 literally to all of these movem ents.
II am going out of business without
a regret, said Mr.. Molitor this morn
ing, cit is little hard to give up a
life work, but feel that the people of
Kenosha and Kenosha county have
shown me so many favors that [ Just
want to say to them thank you
and quit.
Mr.. Molitor is planning to take
long rest and he has no plans for the
future. No announcement has been
made as to the lease of the building
which has been occupied by the Moli-
tor store.

Asks AID OF COUNTY CLERK
American People Going Abroad With
out Passports Are Liable to All Sorts
of Inconvenience Kenosha People
Have Overlooked Them in the Past.

Going abroad7 Don't fail to get a
passport. County Clerk Russell Fl
Jones this morning received letter
from Secretary of State William J.
Bryan, urging him to inform the peo-
pie of Kenosha county that it is neces-
sary for any one travelling abroad to
have passport. For years Kenosha PEG
pie who could borrow, save, beg or steal
the money have been visiting the con
tinent and not one of them ever thought
of the necessity of the protection of
Uncle Sam. Now it is altogether diff
ferent and the man or woman without
a passport is in serious complications
no matter where he may go in Europe
Over in Germany they arrest Americans
as spies and in England people with
out passports have found it hard to
get their money out of the banks. A
lot of Kenosha people who were aboard
before the war started and a few who
have gone since the hostiities were
well under way, have begun to learn
the value of the passport signed by
your Uncle Sam. Now that the war
has settled down to a steady diet for
the European countries involved the
steamship companies are finding way
tc reopen their business and lot of
people are now going abroad every
day. In his letter to Clerk Jones,
Secretary of State Bryan says:
"All American citizens who go
abroad should carry American pass
ports, and should inquire of diplomatic
or consular officers of the countries
which they expect to visit concerning
the necessity of having the passports
visaed therefor.
American citizens are advised to
avoid visiting unnecessarily countries
which are at war, and particularly to
avoid, if sossible, passing through or
from belligerent country to country
which is at war Herewith.
1t is especially important that natu-
rallied American citizens refrain from
visiting their countries of origin and
countries which are at war Herewith.
AS belligerent countries are accus-
toned, for self protection, to scrutinize
carefully aliens who enter their terri
tories, American citizens who find it
necessary to visit such countries should,
as matter Of precaution and in order
to avoid detention, provide themselves
with letters or other documents, in ad-
dition to their passports, showing
definitely the objects of their visits.
In particular it is advisable for persons
who go to belligerent countries as
representatives of commercial concerns
to carry letters of Identification or in
PRODUCTION from such concerns.
American citizens sojourning in
countries which are at war are warned
to refrain from any conduct or utter
ances which might be considered often
sive or contrary to the principles of
strict neutrality"
The county clerk has been supplied
with application blanks and these ac-
companied by a photograph of the
traveller must be sent direct to Wash
ington before passport can be Sc
cured.

Runs On Savings Banks

Strong savings banks in New York
and Boston are now recovering from
senseless runs started as the result
of idle and unfounded rumors, Here
is a peril that menaces not merely
any solvent institution, but all bank
deposItors as we'll.
Any solvent bank could be made
insolvent, II the depositors In some
moment Of madness storm its doors
and demand their cash in an instant.
Conditions ere like those in pub
lie hall where people are killed and
injured merely because some fool
jumps up and yells Are!
The presence In this country Of
vast bodies Of non.English speaking
people aggravates this danger. These
immigrants are Industrious and most
OF them have savings deposits. But
in their ignorance Of business. they
blow up like a powder magazine.
Fortunately business men realize
pretty thoroughly that to stop these
wild alarms, all banking institutions
must stand together. An attack on
one sound bank is an attack at all
investment. Neighboring institutions
must protect it, or suffer from the
general loss OF confidence.
