How can you find a list of taverns and their owners from the late 1800's to early 1900's in Chicago?
Saloon owners were apparently required to obtain licenses in the late 1890s/early 1900s and Illinois Regional Archives Depository (IRAD) at Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) has some of the records, although, if I remember correctly, there are gaps in the coverage even though the date spans are large.
LICENSE RECORD, SALOON (CHICAGO), 1890 to 1919
LICENSE RECORD, SALOONS & PLUMBERS (LAKEVIEW) 1879 to 1890
SALOON LICENSE REFERENCE BOOKS (CHICAGO)1907 to 1919
You might also be able to obtain information about saloons and their owners by using the Chicago City directories--the general listings of individuals and the business listings. They are available through the Family History Library system or at numerous libraries and research facilities around the Chicago area.

What distance is 8 city blocks in Chicago?
The distance will depend on the size of the blocks and the curve of the road,but it is commonly accepted that 8 Chicago city blocks are about one mile according to the grid address system where 100 =1 block. Therefore, 8 blocks will be about 1 mile.
Example, Damen is 2000 w on the grid address system, California is 2800 w, 8 blocks to the west. With each 100 unit block being about 660ft, 8 would = about 5280ft or approximately 1 mile. I say approximately due to the differences in street widths between blocks.

Can anyone tell me anything about this? What it is worth? Who might be interested in purchasing it? Thank you, Diane Brown (dianern1963@bellsouth.net)
I don't have too much information. However, the company was last at 7220 W. Wilson in Harwood Heights, Illinois. They were bought out in the mid 80's by Everson Ross in Spring Valley, NY.
When they moved from here, most of the custom dies were damaged or lost in transit. Most of the Chicago style badges were lost at this time, and the new owners didn't care.
Many of the styles they used were the same as C.H. Hanson Co.

Meyer & Wenthe office and factory were located at 24 t0 30 S. Jefferson St. A Loop office was at 108 N. Dearborn st. and on the west side at 28 S. Jefferson St all in Chicago, Il. This information was taken from the front of the 1925 Cataloge. I have an original copy as my husband's father was Herman H. Wenthe a partner with Gustuve Meyer who was a brother of Dominica Meyer Wenthe, my mother-in-law. The cataloge is 216 pages long and noonly were policeman badges made there but streetcar tokens , endless stamped metal objects and Herman Wenthe invented the pocket notary seal. The catalogue is facinating. I hope you can find one somewhere.
If I can help you again - let me know
I now live in NYS
I am glad to have found this web-site. My company, Smith & Warren, acquired Everson Ross in 1999. Everson Ross did acquire Meyer & Wenthe in the 1980's. Many of the dies and tooling were preserved and are still located in our factory in White Plains, NY. Any inquiries with respect to traditional Meyer & Wenthe designs can be directed to us via our web-site at www.smithwarren.com.

My January, 2004 answer to the Meyer & Wenthe question was in error.
Dominica Meyer was Gustuve Meyer's daughter not his sister.
Meyer was the business partner and Wenthe was the engraver.
I am the grandson of John Meyer from Meyer & Wenthe. I have the information you need from the very beginning of the company. 4 generations. Please contact me if you would like this information.

How do you find out if BDSM business is legal in Texas?
This will be controlled by local as well as state law. You can have an attorney who specialized in first amendment rights in your locality do research, which may be costly, or contact local law enforcement or prosecutors. Either way, be frank about exactly what you intend to do, and be able to discuss your philosophies such as Safe Sane and Consensual or Risk Aware Consensual Kink. Various states differ on whether BDSM activity without conventional sexual contact constitutes pandering when carried out in exchange for money. However individual localities within may have laws which impose more restrictions than state law so it is important to do quality research at your local level. You can also contact National Coalition for Sexual Freedom at www.ncsfreedom.org, which is a legal advocacy group for certain alternative lifestyles and related associations. Be willing to modify your intended activities in specific ways, such as avoiding genital contact for example, to conform with your research.
