  • Story: Entrepreneurial Spirit Of Jacob Poths

    <p>The entrepreneurial spirit of Jacob Poths begain to florish just ten short years after he arrived in Chicago in 1849 from his native country of Frankfort Germany. Those next ten years from 1859 until 1871 Jacob built a small enterprise of seven liquor and wine wholesale stores as well as a saloon on the north side of Chicago. Until one night fire broke out in Chicago on October 8, 1871 and swept it all away. Very little servived the great Chicago fire that day and many were killed. Fortunately no one of Jacob&#39;s family was hurt and they went on to build a wealth of family history.</p><p>1859-1860&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 191 South Wells</p><p>1859-1860&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 306 South Wells</p><p>1860-1862&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 191 South Wells</p><p>1864-1865&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 163 West Randolph</p><p>1865-1866&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 48-50 LaSalle&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Poths and Schweitzer (Henry)</p><p>1866&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 58-60 LaSalle&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jacob Poths Saloon</p><p>1868&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 268 South Wells</p><p>1870-1871&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 270 South Wells&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
