Acknowledgement is also extended by the author and publisher to the following, whose help and cooperation were given fully and generously in all aspects of the creation of this book, principally the Skokie Public Library, the Skokie Photographic Society, the members of the office of the Village Manager and those in the various village governmental departments
Extraordinary aid, so much so that without it this book would never have come to true fruition, was provided by the Skokie Historical Society, whose museum and headquarters today appropriately occupy the old fire house on Floral Avenue just north of Village Hall. The society’s archives, scrapbooks, photographs, and memorabilia which have been carefully collected, chronicled, and, in many cases, at the museum displayed were used throughout the creation of this book. This wealth of museum artifacts and other elements of Skokie history are also open to the public at the Historical Society.
Additionally worthy of very special thanks is longtime Skokie resident, Rand McNally & Company, whose initial editorial counsel, project guidance, and dedicated overview of the production of the book were of great help to the author and publisher and a testament to the company’s concern for the village of Skokie.
