WANTS CITY TO
BOOST FACTORY
Wealth Just Like Dreams
Of King Midas is Offer
ed to City.
ASKS COOPERATION
City Officially Told of Proposed
Coming of Concern to Make
Montanit Buildings.

The tame OF kenOSha as a manu1ac-
turing center is worldwide. Testimo-
ny Of this fact arrived this morning
in an official communication to the city
of Kenosha which announces that Leo
pold Pollak of Budapest, Hungary,
wishes to establish factory in Keno
sha. The letter from Mr.. Pollak is
short and to the point. It says:
81 wish to establish large manu-
featuring plant in Kenosha, as per en-
closed May have the honor of your
cooperation 2"
The letter bears the date of March
5, 1921, and the typewriter matter
enclosed (there is a whole volume of
it) would indicate that the promoter
Of the big plant is ready to start work
tomorrow.
Mayor Says, Don't Know Him."
Mayor Joachim was appealed to and
he promptly declared that he had no
knowledge as to just who Mr.. Pollak
was and he admitted that he had not
read his proposition. Il am not to be
taken as a part Of this matter in any
way said the mayor. "The matter is
not officially before me and | am not
advised as to just what kind of coop
Grafton this Hungarian gentleman
wants or expects to receive. OF course,
if he wants to build a factory in Keno
sha and has the money to build and
operate it, he is privileged to go to it
and build and operate. I am not
pledging the city Of Kenosha either
officially or unoficiallv in the matter"
Dreams of Midas.
Joseph Miskoloczy who is said to be
an American engineer, but whose adj
dress is not given. is said to be asso-
ciated with Mr.. Pollak in the promo
ton of the factory and he prepared the
statement of the plans of the company
The company is to engage in the manu-
facture of Montanit houses. The en-
gineer is authority for the statement
that the proposition is most extra
ordinary brilliant business PROPOSE
ton, in which there is sufficient money
to satisfy the dreams of King Midas,
or similar desires"
The city is officially asked to send
an expert to Budapest to go into the
matter with Mr.. Pollak and it is indi-
Gated that the share of the city in the
profits of the business might be enough
to pay the bonded Indebtedness in a
single year.
Here's the Real Dope.
The real dope on the proposition as
explained by TIE engineer is contained
in the following paragraphs of his
prospectus:
"Have you ever seen private house,
mansion, office building or the like,
which, during the hottest heat Of the
summer months is almost as cold as
an ice cellar and that without refrig-
GRAFTON Of any kind?
"The same house. which is so very
cold during the summer months can
be kept at maximum temperature
during the winter with one-fourth of
the fuel generally used.
During the hottest heat of the sum
mer, when the temperature is ITO de-
grees F. in the shade. the temperature
on the inside of Montanit house. is
ranging between so and so degrees F.
At the same time the inside of Mon
tamil house as well as the body Of its
walls. is simply bone-dry Even the
least little moisture cannot pet through
the walls at any time and in absolute
dryness the climax had been reached
as fully explained below.
g mast
Montanit house is that no fly or mos
quito viii go near or into it; it is too
cold for them. Besides this, the walls
are built of certain sand-like but
glass sharp material, herein explained,
in which bugs, reaches, mice or any
other vermin simply can not exist.
twenty-five warm in winter and
cold-in-summer Montanit houses had
been built in Europe, in the city of
Budapest and its vicinity, in Hungary.
Private families have been and are now
living in these houses for several wears
and the degree of their satisfaction is
simply immense. Forty additional
Montanit houses are now being built
and many other Montanit houses are
ID over
the world it will be only a question
of a short time that either brick hous-
es or ordinary concrete houses will be
built no longer. On the other hand
Montanit houses viii be built by the
thousands, and by the tens of thou
sands all over the globe, and mankind
will be grateful to Leopold Pollak, the
inventor of Montanit and the owner of
the patents pertaining thereto"
As the city of Kenosha has never
vet released Spanish prisoner and
claimed the fortune for the beautiful
daughter" it is possible that it will
try its chances on Mr.. Pollak of Buda-
pest.
