TRAILSHOWS HOW
Kenosha Real Estate Board
Launches Campaign to
Advertise City.
FOR CIVIC RETIREMENT

This is the greeting the Kenosha
Real Estate board is sending out to-
day with sign posts which members
are erecting throughout the city along
a definite trail. The trail is twelve
miles long and covers every phase of
industrial Kenosha with many beah-
tiful side-trips to the residential dis
tricts, the park districts and many
other points of interest in the city.
Believing that the city is well-ad-
vertised industrially, the local Real
Estate board, an organization of the
most prominent men of that profess
sion in the city, has set out to make
themselves an influence in the city for
civic betterment, and they have chosen
as their vehicle the establishment of
"See Kenosha" trail. John w Cir
man, head of the promotion commit
tee, with his assistants from the
board, have prepared a map of the
city routing the most interesting
points as we'll as the beauty spots of
Kenosha. They have begun the twelve
mile trail at Library park and as time
permits this route will be extended to
cover more of the city. With the paw
ing of more streets completed in the
spring, it is expected, according to
Mr.. Girman, that the trail will be one
of the most popular rides in the city.
Until that time all unpaved streets
will not be marked as part of the
trail.
For Tourists and Kenoshans.
The new movement is in accord with
the declared object of, the, Kenosha
Real Estate board "to cooperate with
civic movements, and be of general
helpfulness in boosting our city; and
to place the real estate profession on
a higher plane" +" e1s
The trail is designed both for tour
lists and Kenoshans. 1t is suggested
that a great many people, in the city
have not seen nor do they know the
real Kenosha Beautiful. The trail is
for them. Tourists who come into the
city on a leisurely trip will have an
excellent opportunity to go sight-see-
ing in Kenosha. The trail requires an
average of from an hour to an hour
and half for the entire trip.
City Manager c. M. Osborn has
promised the hearty cooperation of
Official Kenosha in carrying out the
plans of the organization, and he has

at will mean considerable to the
city to have constant patronage Of
the trail by outsiders. as well as aKe-
noshans," declared one of the members
of the executive board of the organi-
cation, "and we are very hopeful that
all of our sign posts will be preserved
The city has promised to cooperate
with us, and we both recommend that
the people of Kenosha take an eve
ning's ride over the trail and become
acquainted with their Kenosha. We
do not claim that the trail Is perfect,
and we are always open for sugges-
tions for improvements on the route.
"The trail is easy to follow-just
follow the red arrow on the sign
posts"
