His book, The Jungle, was about the meat industries in Chicago and his book started a movement that created the Food and Drug administration. His book helped pass the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 under Theodore Roosevelt's administration. It also made the public more aware of the food consumed nation wide. Overall Sinclair's book started a book safety culture across the nation.

Do the math. Amps x Volts = Watts. A typical dryer is 30 amps @ 240 volts. That's 7200 Watts. Average electricity cost is $.07 per 1000 watt-hours. So...if you run the dryer for one hour ...it will use 7200 watt-hours. 7.2 x $.07 = $.50 per hour of usage.

Greed.

I have still not seen the tunnel you refer to, however, I have spoken with a couple rail people, and the have told me that it was highly unlikely that this was a freight line due to the fact that the railroads had right of way to go above ground, and they usually avoid tunneling in case of an accident or derailment it makes it difficult to access the train. My theory is that it may have been a narrow guage to serve the factories around there. If you look at the remaining buildings, there was Westinghouse elec., Goodyear tire, Albert Pick etc.

Probably worth a great deal, both historically and financially. Don't let anyone try to cheat you. It would be nice if you could donate or sell it to a good museum, but I'm sure it is valuable, and it sounds fascinating. Feel free to post a picture of it

Yes, it is actually in Willow Springs on Archer Ave, just west of Willow Springs road. It even has it's own website at www.willowbrookballroom.com. At one point, this was the most elegant venue in the entire city.

I would say, for Chicagoans, the symbolic building is the Water Tower. It is the only building in Chicago that survived the Great Fire. I would say, for the world, the symbolic building in Chicago is the Sears Tower.

she was an African American journalist, newspaper editor and, with her husband, newspaper owner Ferdinand L. Barnett, an early leader in the civil rights movement. She documented lynching in the United States, showing how it was often a way to control or punish blacks who competed with whites.

Wells was a skilled and persuasive rhetorician, and traveled internationally on lecture tours.[1]
