I greet you…
Now let us get right down to business,
as the speakers are all on time.

Chicago, Illinois – An Evening at the Dill Pickle Club
From The Chicago Daily Tribune of January 6, 1919:

Slave to Lunch Counter.

We of the Dill Pickle believe in everything. We are radicals, anarchists, pickpockets, second story men, and-thinkers. Anything to make the mind think! Some of us practice free love and some medicine. Most of us have gone through religion and tired of it-some of us have tired of our wives…
Up spake Ben Reitman, chairman, as he called to order the weekly meeting of the Dill Picklers at the Dill Pickle club rooms, 18 Tooker place.
