According to the May 10, 1944 "The Dope" newsletter, "It stands on the corner of the village Athletic Field, besides the flag-pole and facing Wiegert's" and "Ky Waltz was the spark-plug on this; Bill Wicks was the chief builder; Frank Oliver helped with the paint; Herm Bekken erected it; and the [Douglas] village Board, God bless 'em, came through with the dough."
