Menasha Is....

April 28, 1923, Appleton Post-Crescent

These clippings hail from an April 1923 edition of the Post-Crescent meant to showcase Appleton and the Fox Valley. Presumably, this edition of the newspaper was meant to commemorate Appleton's 70th anniversary of incorporation as a village.   All the communities in the valley received their own write-ups, with, of course, Appleton getting the lion's share.  There was considerable coverage of industry, banking, education, and culture, as would be expected in a venue to showcase the community.  This was a portion of Menasha's showcase, right next to Neenah on the page as one of the Twin Cities.  That explains the combined public buildings photo collage above.  Overall, there's probably nothing in these pieces that we haven't seen before; still, it's nice to see superlatives written about the ol' home town.
