BOOSTERS OFF
TOLURE TRADE
More Than Two Hundred
KenOshans Start for An
nual Booster Trip.
RATORY RAMPANT
Crowd Out to Boost Kenosha in
Rural Districts of County Is
Largest in History.

With the slogan "Get Kenosha county
better acquainted with Kenosha" more
than two hundred of the business and
professional men of the city started
out just after half past nine o'clock
on the annual booster trip of the Ke-
nosha Retailers association. 1t was
the biggest list of automobiles ever
listed for the trip about the county
and forty-six of them left Market
Square in the caravan of trade boost
ers which followed big truck car
rying the musical side of the enter
tainment. This was made up of mem
bers of the SINCE Band but it would
have been hard to recognize them.
George Green in a Bolshevik uniform
and a spiked helmet labeled "Sousa"
led the band and every member of it
was in fancy dress" 1t was a comedy
band to conjure by but the costumes
did not make any difference with the
brand of music played and the band
was real hit all around the circuit.
Most Everyone is There.
The list of passengers in the forty
six automobiles looked like the tele-
phone directory of business and pro-
fessional Kenosha. Most everyone was
there. The city and county of
fees were deserted for the day and
the sheriff went along with the
treasurers of the city and county while
the county clerk and register of deeds
hobnobbed in another car.
Lawyers and, doctors deserted their
usual habits for the day and went out
to join in the annual effort to bring
closer relations between the people of
the city and the county. Most of the
automobiles were loaded down with
souvenirs and the people Of the county
were assured plenty of gifts. The
souvenirs covered large range. There
were balloons for the kiddies, pencils
for the schol children, hair nets for
mama, clothes brushes for fat 'er, &C
count books for the hired men and
every one of them bore message urg-
ing people to trade in Kenosha. A
half dozen cars carried thermometers
which are to be a lasting call to the
people of the county to get better ac-
quainted with the business interest
of Kenosha
Orators Galore for the Trip.
The band music was not the only
entertainment taken along. There
were several car loads of oratory in
the procession. In the long list of
speakers were Prof. o. L. Trenary,
;v4a 0f 1c Z
Loomis, E. ]. Geitman, Conrad Shearer,
Tom Scott, Mayor Joachim, G. C.
Schmitt, n J. Werner, Carl Johnson,
M. J. Isermann, R. S. Kingsley and a
host of others all of whom were ready
to go on at minutes notice and add
in the boosting work.
Then there were some entertainers
along who planned to put on some
fancy stunts during the long stop for
dinner at Salem.
While the boosters were late in get
ting out of Kenosha and late for the
stop at Pleasant Prairie, the other
stops were made pretty nearly on
scheduled time. A big crowd greet
ed the boosters at the first stop at
Pleasant Prairie and Superintendent
Loomis started the talking.
One of the features of the trip was
the distribution of the Back to Nor
malcy" edition of the Evening News.
While the heavy rains of the last
few DAYS had made some of the roads
just little heavy,,>the rain was given
credit for laying the dust on the gravel
roads and for the entire trip the boost
ers were saved the usual "eating
dust" Even with the long line of
automobiles there was not bit of
dust in sight
