On Thursday evening, August 25th, 1921, at Pilsen Park, Chicago, there gathered about six hundred friends of Anton J. Cermak to welcome him from a visit to Europe, and particularly Czechoslovakia. The large hall was filled to overflowing in spite of the fact that the night was hot.

Mr. Robert M. Sweitzer, the County Cleark of Cook County, acted as toastmaster. He extended a welcome to Mr. Cermak on his homecoming. He was followed by numerous representatives of the City Council and business men of the district.

On behalf of the assembled friends a clasp watch chain was presented to the guest of honor. In thanking the audience, Mr. Cermak, emphasized his extreme pleasure with his trip and studies. It left a great impression upon him.

The success of this notable affair was due to Mrs. Sedlacek and Mr. Sonnenschein, who arranged the entire program including moving pictures of the entire evening.
