A few small changes have been made to the site. Mostly it is cosmetic but I have been learning some programming which has been put to good use to clean it up behind the scenes. There is still much to learn! Feel free to leave comments in the Forum under "Site Comments". This section has been left so that you can write without having to register. Thanks.



Recent pics from the Photo Album
Oriental
The grand opening of the Saxe Oriental Theater was on July 2, 1927. This was one of many ads to promote the opening with an obvious oriental theme.
Mariner Bldg
This is an illustration from the Milwaukee Journal of October 27, 1930 showing the brand new Mariner Building at the corner of 6th & Wisconsin. The foreground shows the Palace-Orpheum theater and the Wisconsin Theater.
Eline Chocolate
An advertisement from the Milwaukee Sentinel of February 1923 for Eline chocolate bars. Of course it has a line that every kid wants adults to believe - that chocolate will make children completely healthy! Eline was owned by the Uihlein family but the spelling was simplified because nobody can pronounce Uihlein correctly.
