HALE COMP ANY
QUITS BUSINESS
Historic Old Main Street
Grocery Sold Today to
w. E. Stevens.
LED BY GEORGE HALE
Business Founded More Than
so Years Ago When Capt. G.
Hale Returned from Army.

The Hale Grocery company which
has the distinction of being the oldest
retail business in Kenosha, went out
of business this morning as announce
ment is made of the sale of the stock
and fixtures of the company to Will
liam E. Stevens and. for the present
at least the Main street store will be-
come one Of the string of stores oper-
ated by the Stevens company. The
lease on the Main street store will ex-
pire the first of the new month, but it
is possible that an extension of the
lease will be provided for.
The retirement of the name Of
"Hale" from Main street is of unusual
interest. For over fifty years the name
has been prominently connected with
the retail business of the city and
the Hale stores have stood for a
quality business second to none in the
history of Wisconsin.
n Founded by George Hale.
Just after the close of the Civil War,
the late Captain George Hale returned
to his home in Kenosha county after
long service in the army. He left his
home in Paris and came to Kenosha
and was interested in grocery store
where the present Thomas A. Sullivan
store is located. The firm name was
Drom and Hale, Captain Hale being
associated in business with the late
Sydney E. Drom with whom he had
served in the army during the Civil
War. Later the name was changed to
Hale and Bronson when the late Cary
Bronson purchased the interest of Mr..
Drom in the company. This firm was
in business for many years at the store
now occupied by the BUTLER meat mar
ket. Nearly thirty years ago the firm
of George Hale and Sons was formed
and this firm continued in business I'M
til the formation of the company known
as the Hale Grocery company follow
ing the death of the founder of the
business. In this firm Mr.. Hale was
associated with his sons, Myron Hale
and George Leroy Hale.
Successful Venture by Women.
After the death of Captain Hale the
management of the business was taken
up by Miss Marian Hale and Miss Jane
Vernon. They were the first two
women to seek to carry on a large
Main street business and they have
been most successful in the conduct
of the business.
Miss Hale for the present will re-
main with the Stevens company in the
management of the Main street store.
The Hale stock has been regarded as
one of the finest stocks of groceries
in southern Wisconsin and the high
standard was maintained for more
than fifty years.

COUNTY TAXES
LISTED HIGH
The County and Township
Taxes for Land in Keno
sha County High.
LAND VALUES SOAR
Report Shows Land Jumpea
from S133.25 Per Acre in
y 1916 10 $50 in 1921.

The general property tax per acre on
land in Kenosha county during the year
1921 is ranked as high among those
of the state in the reports filed today
by 7. A. Polleys, tax commissioner of
the Chicago and Northwestern Railway
Company. This report, which has
come to be known as an authority on
statistics of this nature shows that
kenosha county pays a total tax of
249.6O cents per acre, one of the high
est rates in the state. 1t is topped
by Racine county, where the rate is
S04.42 cents per acre and also by Mil
waukee where it is 6s9.s cents per acre
among the counties in the southeastern
district of Wisconsin.
Of this amount 1851 cents goes to
pay state taxes per acres in Kenosha
county, 1881 cents to pay county taxes
25.S6 to pay township taxes and e2.32
to pay district school taxes per acre.
The average rate of increase in total
taxes since 1915 for land in Kenosha
county has been 31.54 per cent. The
state income tax levied per acre has
some consolation for the taxpayer
being only 5.72 cents per acre. A re-
capitulation of these figures ranks
Kenosha in the high lists among the
southeastern districts of Wisconsin.
No SOIace in the City.
There is little solace for the tax
payers who live in the city of Kenosha,
according to another report furnished
by Commissioner Polleys. This shows
that Kenosha, a city of 40,472, has
total cost'of maintenance of $1,122, 1929
or $2T.74 perNcapita. 1t also shows that
in addition to this there was paid to
school districts total of $600,9S1 or
SASS per capita, being a ratio of 81
per cent to total cash.
The figures for Racine on the same
questions are that, it with a popula-
tion of 1888, has a total cost of main
tenance Of S1,437, 082, or s24.53 per cap
tia. In addition the total school tax
there is S735,040 or $12.55 per capita.
This demonstrates that Kenosha pro-
portionately is paying a higher tax
than Racine. Officials declare that re-
cent large improvements here account
for the difference.
Some .SOlace in Values.
The silver lining to the tax cloud
comes in the fact that the land values
have also jumped and jumped greatly.
While this has brought with it an in
crease in the assessment value this
is not proportionate to the increase in
property rights of the owner. In Keno
sha county land, values have jumped
to an average Of $3.50 per acre from
$133.25 in 1915 and $98.50 in 1911.
