the night before Thanksgiving. This is
the final argument which in livid let
tiers drives home the announcement of
the cred, White and Blue Ball - which
is to be the affair of the season. The
city is being covered today with pla-
cards-and they are "beauties," too
which in patriotic legends and colors
declare the attractiveness of this lead
ing social event of the season. This is
tip, too: if you have not seen one of
these posters, you are missing good
bet because outside of their advertising
proclivities it is the "niftiest" placard
of patriotic nature which has been
shown in Kenosha recently. They have
to be seen to be appreciated but a

with blue lettering and touch Of
black to emphasize the military nature
of it all is something like the impress
