CONCLUSION 191 Bisbee, past and present 191 Depression and prosperity 193 The success of the past, the hope of the future 197 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION The history of Bisbee is an account not only of mar- velous development of natural resources and industry but of the admirable growth of people and institutions. Sixty years ago Bisbee consisted of five inhabitants living in rude huts huddled in a nook in the Mule Mountainsl of southeastern Arizona; today it is an industrial city with a population of 25,000, stretching for miles up and down the canyons . It was the age-old lure of substantial things that sent the prospectors to Mule Gulch, but their adventures were only novel incidents in the continuous search for riches. Those who dreamed of the thrills of the original discovery of ore failed to realize the tremendous labor and capital necessary for the extraction of the copper from the mountains. Few realized the faith which was nec- essary to warrant the expenditure of huge sums of money before even a dollar of value was returned. But belief in the district was not misplaced. Nature yielded to the forces of modern life and from a mushroom camp Bisbee grew 1. The southeastern Dragoon Mountains were so called because of two prominent peaks which resembled the ears of a mule when viewed from the upper end of Sulphur Spring Valley, to be one of the largest copper producing centers of the world. The true history of Bisbee must include events which mark the progress of the discovery of ore, the staking of claims, the development of mines, striking events and dra- matic episodes; it must include the social and economic life of the people, their religion, their schools, their occupations, labor conditions, and the organization of capital.

  • Judge Mendoza, for Agreeing To
    Q1: Today is November 5, 2005. It is 11:26 am. We are in room 2510 of the Daley Center Cook County Court building where we’re interviewing Judge Patricia Mendoza about her legal career, her background, how she became a judge in the Cook County system. Thank you, Judge Mendoza, for agreeing to talking with us today. The first thing we’d like to do is ask you a little bit about your background and upbringing, how your early experiences influenced your decision to enter the legal profession. Can you tell us a little bit about what it was like growing up in the Back of the Yards neighborhood in the 1960s? A: Well, it’s a working-class neighborhood. They have -- it was a changing neighborhood, changing over from Polish– Lithuanian to Mexican. You know, it was lower middle class. And there’s not a lot -- I don’t know. You know, it’s what I knew, so I couldn’t really compare it to anything else at the time. Q1: Mm-hmm. Did your parents -- had they lived there for a long time, or...? A: We actually moved there when I was 11. They had a bridal shop business that they opened up there. They had had a business previously, and I don’t know the name of the neighborhood. It was like 55th and the Garfield, Halsted area. That neighborhood had undergone a lot of race riots. 1 I vague -- I distinctly remember, you know, the riots because the store was on the dividing line -- at that time Halsted was the dividing line -- between black and white.

  • Apple Stores
    For the exclusive use of M. Henny, 2015. 9-502-063 REV: MAY 20, 2010 LUC WATHIEU Apple Stores Ron Johnson (HBS ’84), Apple Computer’s Senior Vice-President of Retail, never missed a chance to show a customer through the nearest Apple Store. A former Vice-President of Merchandising at Target (a leading department store chain), Johnson joined Apple in January 2000 with the mission to oversee the creation of the company’s own stores. The first store opened in May 2001—and just seven months later, 27 identical stores had been opened across the United States. During his store visits, Johnson tried computer applications, listened to a store employee make a presentation in front of the 10-foot screen at the rear of the store in “the theater,” and respectfully introduced his guests to the local “genius,” the official title of a very knowledgeable employee who stood behind a “bar” (complete with stools and water bottles) and helped solve consumer problems. Every detail of the store experience had been carefully designed, and as much as Johnson enjoyed each tour, he was also checking that all the store’s elements were perfectly under control. “The store experience has to be the same every day, every hour, in every store. We care passionately about that,” he often said. The stores were expanding to new territories, mostly in high traffic shopping malls, with the explicit purpose of “enriching people’s lives” and converting new customers to Apple products. To complete that mission successfully, Johnson’s focus was on choosing the right locations, selecting and training knowledgeable and dedicated employees, and defining the most effective utilization of the innovative store elements such as the theater and the genius bar.

Young This dissertation examines the causes, context, and legacies of the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike in relationship to the history of labor organizing and coalmining in both Colorado and the United States. While historians have written prolifically about the Ludlow Massacre, which took place during the 1913- 1914 Colorado coal strike led by the United Mine Workers of America, there has been a curious lack of attention to the Columbine Massacre that occurred not far away within the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike, led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).

He formerly p-layed, and two of his sons gained eminenee in Kansas and Missouri Valley play, kirke mechem THE KANSAS HISTORICAL QUARTERLY Volume XVII November, 1949 Number 4 "Home on the Range" KIRKE MECHEM The night Franklin D. Roosevelt was first elected president a group of reporters sang "Home on the Range" on his doorstep in New York City. He asked them to repeat it, and made the statement, so it was said, that it was his favorite song. Later he often listened to the ballad at the White House, and it was reported that at Warm Springs he frequently led his guests in singing it. Stories of the President's approval soon made "Home on the Range" one of the country's hit songs. By 1934 it had moved to the top on the ra­ dio, where it stayed for six months. Everybody sang it, from Lawrence Tibbett to the smallest entertainer. Radio chains, motion picture com­ panies, phonograph record concerns and music publishers had a field day -all free of royalties, for there was no copyright and the author was un­ known. At its peak the song was literally sung around the world. Writing from Bucharest, William L. White, son of William Allen White of Kansas, said: They all know American songs, which is pleasant if you are tired of wars and little neutral capitals, and are just possibly homesick.
