Hi List, Season Greetings to one and all. On the 1930 census, I have two aunts living at 2235 Leamington, Chicago. One is employed at a "Biscuit Company", the other at a "Radio Corp." Does anyone have any idea of the full names and/or the locations of these companies? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you. God Bless. Evelyn in AR
My grandfather who lived on 1000 North block of Lorel, just a few blocks west and south of yours, worked for SAWYER Biscuit Company listed as a "Division of United Biscuit Company of America" 1029-49 W. Harrison Street Chicago, Illinois I have an employee identification card from Sawyer. It includes a photograph and it lists his name, address, race, color of eyes, weight, color of hair, height, sex, birthplace and date. Signature of Employee and says: "We hereby certify that the above employee is a Citizen of the United States of American and that his fingerprints have been registered." It is signed by the president but I cannot read the signature. It has no date of employment however, or when it was issued. But my grandfather bought the house on Lorel in 1915 and later I lived in it so I know he was living here during his employment at Sawyer. Because of the close proximity of our relatives. This may be the place. LMHahn former Austinite
