The Book of Chicagoans: A Biographical Dictionary of Leading Living Men of the City of Chicago.
Edited by John W. Leonard, editor of Who's Who in America. $8.50, Chicago
The Book of Chicagoans, after a long and patient campaign of research and inquiry, is now presented with confidence that every promise and prediction made for it has been fulfilled. The volume contains a vastly larger collection of personal sketches of Chicago people than has ever before been gathered together, and not only in numbers, but also in quality of the people whose life statistics are presented. The book may fairly claim precedence. It is the best showing ever made of biographical data concerning those living men who best represent the reputable efforts and creditable activities of the City of Chicago.
Great care has been taken in extracting only those listings that are relevant to persons living in Rogers Park and/or West Ridge or are in some other way connected to Rogers Park or West Ridge.
