Some of your answers are kind of close, but think of a city more south of Milwaukee.

William Horlick - Back in the late 1800's to mid 1900's, there was a factory near the Root River on Hwy 38 in Racine County that made "Horlick's Malted Milk Balls"

William Horlick High School was named after him as well as Horlick Athletic Field, which is located on Memorial Drive on the north side of the City of Racine, which housed the Racine Belles of AAGPBL and the current Racine Raiders. In addition, Horlick Athletic Field also plays host to an array of high school football games. There is a myth that many out of town football coaches refuse to play at Horlick Field due to the dire straights of the surrounding neighborhood, which has a high crime rate to this date.

I figured it was a Racine guy, so I thought of famous Racine businessmen... It didn't hurt that Case hat a HS named after him, so I went that route first.

 

[Mike Felder]

A little off topic...but why on earth is Horlick called the Rebels? Racine would seem to be a bit far north to pull off that kind of nickname.

As a Horlick alum, I can shed some light on this.....way back in the day the basketball coach was named Rebholz (sp?) and the name evolved from that.
