Association Also Plans to Have a ''Pay
Up Week in February With ''Clean

Offing- Honor Retiring Secretary.

The Kenosha Retailers association
outlined busy year s work at the first
gathering of the year held at the as
sembly room of the Chamber of Com
merce on Tuesday evening when more
than thirty members of the association
gathered for the regular monthly din
ner.
Important in the events planned for
the year are Pure Food Show to be ar
ranged in connection with the Commun-
ity Institute to be held the first week in
March, Pay Up Week which is set for
the week of February 10 to "a. A
Clean Up and Dress Up Week, the dates
for which will be announced later.
President Carl Johnson in opening the
meeting called upon the members of the
association for cooperation for the ocm-
ing year and the enthusiastic manner in
which the plans for work were received
gives assurance that this cooperation
will be forthcoming. President johnson
will within few days name committees
to have charge of the various activities
of the association planned for the year
and these committees will be busy.
The first real big event is to be the
Pure Food Show. For some time the
Kenosha merchants have been anxious
to stage just this kind of a show in
Kenosha and it will be made the feature
of the Community Institute which is
being arranged under the direction of
the Chamber of Commerce. The big
manufacturers Of food products
throughout the United States will be
asked to cooperate with the local com
mittees In providing interesting dis
plays for the show and it is certain that
many big exhibits will be attracted to
the city. 1t is not improbable that in
connection with the Pure Food show
there will be arrangements for a grain
show at which the products of the farms
of Kenosha county will be shown. Many
of the farmers of the county were dis
appointed that such a show was not
arranged in connection with the Com
munity Institute and they will be glad
to know that the Retailers association
have arranged the Pure Food Show
where provisions may be made for a dis
play of the local products
No action was taken at the meeting
on Tuesday evening to elect a successor
to G. D. Theleen as secretary. The
executive committee has received a
large number of applications for the
position but as yet no decision has been
made. The committee will meet again
on Thursday evening to consider the APP
plications and it is possible that some
recommendation will be made to the AS
ISOLATION within the next few days.
The splendid services Of Secretary
Theleen were recognized by the mem
bers Of the Association at the meeting
on Tuesday evening. Just before the
close of the evening there was a pretty
LITTLE ceremony at which President john
son presented the retiring secretary with
beautiful Elks pin. In making the pre-
sentation President Johnson declared
that the gift carried with it a world of
appreciation from the members of the
Association for the splendid work which
Mr.. Theleen had done for it. The Sec
rotary responded to the presentation
with an expression of continued success
for the Kenosha Association.
