Cassel and Kaplan are very good dressers; Kaplan usually wearing slate colored suit, English walking coat. If you should locate Cassel, hold and wire me and I will send officer with necessary papers. WM. J. E. STONE, Chief of Police. WORCESTER, MASS., March 12, 1906." [Historical records for minor, local 1906 ticket agency frauds are sparse outside of localized newspaper archives from the Massachusetts area. These small-scale "immigrant banks" frequently defrauded newly arrived Eastern European laborers by taking money intended for steamship tickets or family remittances and vanishing before local authorities could react. They had a two-week head start from February 24 to March 12 to board a transatlantic vessel to England or resettled under aliases in major metropolitan area in the U.S.] Private immigrant banking fraud was a systemic crisis in the United States between 1880 and 1920, driven by the rapid influx of Southern and Eastern European laborers who were locked out of mainstream American financial institutions. Thousands of unregulated, unchartered neighborhood banks" operated in immigrant enclaves, serving as vital community hubs before frequently collapsing due to speculation, mismanagement, or intentional "bank-wrecking" scams. Mainstream American commercial banks in the early 20th century generally required English fluency, had business hours that conflicted with manual labor shifts, and outright refused to service low-wage foreign laborers. To fill this vacuum, saloon keepers, grocers, steamship ticket agents, and boarding house operators acted as private bankers. These became known as immigrant banks. They often doubled as labor bosses (padrones), securing factory, mining, or railroad jobs for newly arrived immigrants. They sold steamship tickets on installment plans to help laborers bring their families to America. They processed tiny financial transfers back to European villages. They held payroll deposits for safe-keeping because workers had no other secure place to store cash. Because these banks operated outside state or federal regulation . . . or gamble on speculative stocks. When a personal business venture failed, the entire community's savings vanished with it. Before Charles Ponzi made HIS scheme famous in Boston in 1920, early private bankers utilized the same concept. . . (ilustrador).…

First edition of this fund raising poster promoting the National War Garden Commission who stridently advocated canning and food preservation as home front support during World War I. Pack (1857-1937), a forestry expert and 3rd generation Michigan lumber baron was keen on public education and promoted the importance of self-sustainability of food supplies in the United States. He was the primary org`anizer of the National War Garden Commission, and his efforts including posters, lecture seminars, instructional works, along with canning and drying manuals resulted in an estimated 1.45 million quarts of canned fruits and vegetables in 1918. He also was a key figure who aided in the U.S. School Garden Army mobilizing American school children. Maginel Wright Enright (1881-1966) was the youngest sister of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1897-1898, and joined the Chicago engraving firm of Barnes, Crosby & Co. as artist. She illustrated over 60 books, many magazine covers, patriotic posters during World War I, and was also considered by Walter Reed "largely responsible for revolutionizing the quality of illustrations in children's readers."
