My late father worked as an office boy at the Midwest Utilities Company in the mid nineteen twenties. Among his tasks was to distribute paychecks in the executive offices of Midwest Utilities. Insull's check was $1500 a week, at a time when a cop, fireman, or teacher did not earn that much in a year. Insull was a crook, but by buying the South Bend, and investing in the North Shore and the C A & E, he also did a lot of good for the public.
Yes, indeed. Thank you very much for this. The Sourh Shore is very much a fond memory from my early childhood in Lansing,IL
Thanks for this!
The South Shore Line jas a very definite future.
