From the March 2, 2016, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1916, 100 Years Ago.
"Nearly every community in Northern Illinois in which manufacturing is carried on of almost any kind is enjoying a period of prosperity and the factories are running with increased forces and skilled workers are in great demand.
"The 'boom' in manufacturing is directly due to the demand for supplies that comes from the war zone, where the production is curtailed and the consumption is increased."
