† Owned by Carl Fox until December 16, 1945, when he sold the Surf in Clear Lake, Iowa, The Prom in St. Paul, Minnesota, and The Terp in Austin, Minnesota, to William Karzas for $1.5 million. At the time, Karzas was owner-operator of the Aragon and Trinidad ballrooms in Chicago. Fox had operated his ballrooms for territory bands, almost exclusively.
