EIGHTY WINDOWS FOR DISPLAY
Exhibit to Open on Next Saturday Ev
ening Promises to Be Most Notable
of the Kind Ever Held in This Sec
tion Of State-People Interested.

The Made In Kenosha 2 exhibit bill
ID to open all over the down town dis
trict on next Saturday night promises
to surpass even the dreams Of the pro-
motors and the busiest man in town
just at present is HI. G. Hansen, the
chairman of the committee in charge of
the exhibit Showing the usual spirit
Of cooperation thirty Of the manufac-
turers of Kenosha have announced
their intention of taking part in the
big exhibit. Just one of the manu-
facturers will not be represented. This
company operates a big iron foundry
and II any person can figure out just
how big blast furnace can be set UP
In store window that company is
ready to put in an exhibit just as
large as any Of the others. The manu-
facturers have met the merchants bet
ter than half way in the plans for the
exhibit and by Saturday morning
eighty store windows in the down town
district will bear interesting messages
OF just what things are made in Keno
sha and how they are made. Nearly
all of the factories have special men
at work designing these exhibits and
when the designers get through the
exhibits are going to be worth going
miles to see. Nearly every merchant
IN the down town district has given
literally Of his window space for the
arranging of the exhibits and out in
the little business centers in other parts
of the city plans have been made for
auxiliary exhibits which are going to
be just as interesting as those in the
down town districts. Some of the manu-
facturers have taken as many as eight
windows for their elaborate displays.
Many of them plan to show not only
the various products turned out in the
factories but they plan to have ma
chimes in actual operation. Kenosha is
admitted to be the home Of the world $
greatest labor saving machines and sew
eral of the big companies will make
feature exhibits showing these ma
chimes in operation.
HThis exhibit is going to be the big
gest eye-opener that Kenosha people
ever had +" said Chairman Hansen today.
ut is going 10 be bigger and better
than any exhibit of the kind ever stag
ed in Wisconsin and we believe that
1t will be a world beater. The way
that the manufacturers have gone into
tins matter gives assurance that they
are going to show the people just what
is being made inKenosha. The mer-
chants have been liberal in turning ov-
er window space to the manufacture
ers. ("
The plans Of the committee provide
for making the week of the exhibit at
tractive. The streets are to be decor
ated with flags and bunting and during
the week the band will be on the streets
for concerts at least one night and it is
possible that several bands will insist
on being allowed to show what kind Of
music can be "made in Kenosha."
The manufacturers are going to
start the work of setting up their ex-
hibits on next Thursday and all Thurs
day and Friday will be given to the
work of arranging them, 1t is planned
to have everything ready for the lift
ing of the curtain on "Made in Ke-
nosha" on Saturday morning.
The exhibit is being advertised all
over Kenosha county and it is expect
ed that it will draw to the city an un-
usually large crowd of visitors from
all sections of the county. These peo-
pie have never been given a chance
to see just what products are turned
out in Kenosha and it is expected that
hundreds of them will take advantage
of the week exhibit.
The merchants themselves will not
overlook the week and displays ar
ranged by them win be of most at
tractive nature. Several of the mer-
chants have employed expert window
trimmers with a view of making their
windows attractive during the exhibit.
