July 3, 1924, Appleton Post-Crescent
Over the years, we've seen many references to the fine music and dancing available at Brighton and Waverly Beaches in the posts of this blog and in many Menasha groups on Facebook. But until I saw this ad, I wasn't truly cognizant of the many other opportunities for amusement and entertainment around the Fox Valley. Yes, it was the Roaring Twenties and the stereotypical flapper and jazz bands do come to mind while scanning this page. And thankfully, the affordable and reliable trolleys that could take patrons for 5 and 10 cents a ride "every 30 minutes" had to be a boon as well for the local economy.
