in Wisconsin where YOU got that

All Of which leads US TO the
story we started out 10 tell,
namely. what many people in Chi
cagO and some of our own club
members have been doing in the
last month or so.
There is developing a decided
movement for summer colonies
Of prominent Chicagoans along
the lakes and streams of northern
Wisconsin. Information just re-
ceived by the editor Of the Tri-
Color shows that there have been
a number Of land transfers in
this woods country in which Chi
cago men appear as purchasers.
They apparently are the fore
handed ones that are looking
ahead TO a permanent solution Of
the summer vacation problem, by
buying an acre or two on some
picturesque lake for the erection
of a simmer home.

quests for information as to the

lows on the sites and settle once
and for all the vacation problem.
The Three Lakes and Eagle Riv-
er waters are about 325 miles
from Chicago and just an over
night ride on the Chicago and
North Western Railway, which
means they are convenient for
the Chicago business man who
wants to send his family up into
the woods for the summer and be
able TO join them week ends.
There also have been some pur-
chases of land in the Cisco wa
tiers near the boundary line of
Wisconsin. and while this is
bit farther north, it is equally
convenient.
This seems to be an excellent
idea, and is obtaining a great
many believers in it. Land in
Wisconsin can be obtained at a
nominal cost, ranging from S25
TO 500 or more an acre, right on
the shore of a lake or river. Ii is
ideal for a summer home and
some of the lakes are being con-
verted into colonies with the en-
tire shore line dotted with cot
tages and homes that are occu-
pied throughout the hot weather
There are numberless regions
in Wisconsin where this idea can
be made practical and now seems
the time to decide definitely what
is to be done during the summer,

when everyone wants recreation
and few know how TO get it.
There are Of course, large regions
undeveloped and some unexplored,
but these are for the lone and
crusty bachelors who want to get
away from civilization and grow
a two-inch beard while they are
spending the day in fishing.
But the family man wants
some place where he can send his
family. Many of the lakes in the
Three Lakes and Eagle River re-
gions are being well developed,
and they afford excellent fishing,
