RUNNING HIS TAVERN HALF DRY, HALF WET

Chicago James Fiocchi got his new tavern all set up and going before he discovered what he had done. a > He learned to his dismay that

legally half of the place was in Highwood, which, by local option, allows a man to sell intoxicants. But the rear end of the tavern is in Highland Park, which is dry. So Fiocchi did what any smart operator would do under the circumstances. He started selling; drinks in the front end and sandwiches and pop in the back part.
