Swirling mists sweep once more across the crystal and we looked upon a far less turbulent Chicago than the one of the present day. Lunt, police commissioner and former boy scout, had cleaned up the city. At the foot of South Street was the plumbing concern of Carroll and Mc- Elroy. Nearby was the ollice of Casey, expert in lake litigation. john Fogarty appeared as head of the Salvation Army in this city. A glimpse of the 'W -1,. oc if se . , . . Q ...s ' n 4' 5 - , I L!!

Then the sunshine of the Southland shone forth on fair San Francisco. The palatial offices of Durgan. Kelly and Lenehan, built in a replica of the famous Conqueror, on which their cruises took place. The ship happened to be in port. Captain Davis was superintending the load- ing of the vessel. As we watched, bos'n Bill Car- roll appeared and piped the call to hands. In an office of the Dean Building, Kearns and Halpin were in command of a meeting. Rapid as was there discourse, Francis Healy had no trouble with his notes. Then the land of sunshine faded from our view and we saw Leon Girard and Leo Dunne building a tiny bridge over the Woonasquatucket River. In the Clair Building, not far off, Eagan, Barrie, Theroux, Gorham and Tyrell were gath- ered to divide their prohts. Don't get us wrong: these profits were legitimate. While in a radio store in the second story over an empty lot was a man trying vainly to Hx a television set. We hope you clon't always do business like that, Tommy. Then we saw a land development of Gallogly being surveyed by Carroll and Garvin. The line looked crooked to us. F ay was superintending the job for his music studio was to be built on the lot. Now with fear and trepidation we prepared to learn our own fate. Our fears were justified. Such a dark and dismal fate we cannot bear to disclose in this narrative. We are Willing, how- ever, having resigned ourselves to our fate, to tell anyone who is interested enough to make personal inquiry what a terrible life is ahead of us. ' 53
