Important Meeting of Jewish Storekeepers on the South Side
Daily Jewish Courier, Aug. 13, 1919
Tonight, at 7:30 P.M., at the Odd Fellows Hall, 3337 South State Street, all Jewish storekeepers on the South Side will meet to discuss together ways and means of protecting their interests.
This meeting is being called by the State Street Businessmen's Protective Association, which was organized last week and is founded on a number of important principles.
One of the most important reasons for the existence of the association is the excessive damage, sustained by many businessmen of that neighborhood during the race riots, when a number of Jewish stores were robbed.
Today's meeting is, therefore, thought to be a very important one for the Jewish businessmen of that neighborhood. It is expected that all of them will attend, in order to participate in the proceedings.
