Elks Aftermath

June 9, 1910, Appleton Post-Crescent
This news account details the events of the recently held Elks' Convention in Menasha in June of 1910.  You may recall that the cover of my book, Menasha, uses a photo taken on Main Street during that period.  In fact, the street was paved not more than a month before for the very first time, in order for the city to put, as they used to say, it's "best bib and tucker" out for the visiting crowd.  From the above account, it seems Menasha succeeded.
