agreed to \enter the project on basis
which would assure the proper man

C. G. Fowler and H. H. Dunbar,
president and vice-president of the
Aurora company, in a letter to Messrs.
Edward and Fred Dayton and Jacob
Gottlieb, Kenoshans interested in the
project, gave new impetus to the
movement when they wrote as fol-
lows:
( Replying to your inquiry of recent
date as to whether or not we would
be interested in your hotel project in
Kenosha, we are pleased to submit the
following statement:
Briefly, we are not only interested
in your hotel proposition, but will
agree to assume the management and
operation of said hotel on any basis
which would be considered fair and
eQuILaDIGs
our faith in your project, we will
make a substantial cash investment in
same and shall be pleased, also, to as
sist you in the erection and general
plans and specifications, including all
details of furnishing, etc. You are at
liberty to use our names in the pro
motion Of the hotel and our represen-
tative will be pleased to meet you al
any time you may deem it necessary
or advisable.
"The foregoing statement is brought
about by our careful Investigation Of
the hotel conditions in Kenosha and
the undoubted need for an approxi-
mately one hundred room hotel in
your town. We feel this perfectly
safe and sane investment as well as
profitable one"
Believe Goal is Near.
Those who are interested in the
project in Kenosha were reticent tc
discuss the project, stating that they
realized how many paper hotels" had
been erected here in the past and fol-
that reason preferred to say nothing
Antil the movement was assured. They
Stated, however, that with the new
turn in affairs, the goal appeared as
sured and that with little more sup
port from Kenoshans, the new hote
dream could be realized
1t was stated that five men had now
invested $4,000 each in the hotel plan
and that three of these were Keno'
shans. Scores of others have invested
in a smaller way.
