Notes

Robert Emmett owned and managed a high-end delicatessen on Chicago's Northside district known as "The Gold Coast." He specialized in the finest aged meats and required his sons, Robert II and John deliver to customers after they finshed their afternoon classes at Loyola Academy on Sheridan Road. In those days public transportation fares varied with the length of the trip. The boys were given the exact fares for their destination and return....a mistake meant you might walk. The store was immensely successful and Robert Emmett invested wisely prior to his death at 56 in 1923. Standard Oil of Indiana was one of his favorite stocks. His Son's John and Bob continued this savings philosophy and they weathered the depression very successfully.
