$100,000 Addition to
Hortonville Fabricating
Firm Will Triple Space
New Site on Black Otter Lake
Will Give Melray Room to Expand
HORTONV I LLE A $100,000,at the present site and added
addition being constructed by room is a necessity.
Melray I nc. on the eastern edge
of the village will triple the
present space of the fabricating
firm.
The addition to the corpora-
tion specializing in truck bodies
and custom steel work will be
80 by 200 feet, according to
Raymond Richards, president.
A 30 by 40 foot office is not
included in the plants size. The
total construction will cover
17,200 square feet of a three-
acre site that runs from U. S. 45
to Black Otter Lake.
Since 1950
The giant building is being
constructed of steel. Melray
began operation in Hortonville

Currently there are 15 em-
ployes at the plant located
behind the post office in the
middle of the Hortonville bus-

Indian Medicine Show Suffers
From Heap Big PotionRain
MENASHA Heap big show
suffered from anger of gods!
Ugh.
So goes the comment of phony
I ndian John Hidde at the
Prospector Days Medicine show,
which held only two of its
olanned three shows Friday
light. The winds swiftly shifted,
and by the appearance of
ominous squall lines and black
clouds behind the roof of the
medicine show wagon, heap big
show was ending with the zippy
notes of Banjo Jo Gazecki's
version of "Twelfth Street
Rag".
At the first two shows the
wizard, alias James Auer, pre-
sented the crowd with some-
hing to think about when he
baffled onlookers with fancy
nind reading and sleight of
hand.
John Hidde fanned his hand at
all those thinking he was
ipoofing when he turned out
gaily painted and half clad as
in I ndian. When the rains
belted the Bank of Menasha
parking lot, scene of the action,
I hief Running Paint (as he was
thereby dubbed) dismissed the
crowd with a disgusted "Ugh!"
Throughout the first two
performances, at 6 and 7 p.m.,
the famed man of the stage,
Banjo Jo Gazecki put tongue in
cheek, twirled his machine
about and settled down to some
strumming banjo music. His
crazy good humored j-okes
roused smiles and giggles on
faces of young and old.
Throughout the performance
of Banjo Jo, his two accompa-
nists on accordion and home-
made garbage can string bass
provided spectators with hoots,
hollars and a tap dance routine
for the spiritual uplift of
spectators.
Chief Running Paint acted as
master of ceremonies for the
successful shows which drew
large crowds. His other duty, as
medicine pusher, was to dis-
tribute
bottles
the amber
of dubious
and jade
content to
spectators. Unlike a real clip
show held out west in days gone
by, the bottles contained not
bad medicine, but very good gift
certificates for Menasha stores.
The firm has turned out fire
truck bodies, a specialty, for
places in V iet Nam, Arabia,
Canada, Spain, I srael and Trini-
dad, West I ndies.
Richards plans on moving the
equipment to the new location
without disturbing his produc-
tion. He says he has two of
e^ery machine and will move
one series into the new location
and then transfer the work
force.
