Mr. Speaker. more than 100 years ago. the great city of Chicago was laid waste by a most devastating fire which took more than 200 lives and caused damage in excess of $200 million. At the same time. a German immigrant with $200 in savings opened a small popcorn stand with one popper. Since then. Chicago has rebuilt itself into one of the greatest cities in the world. And the immigrant. F. W. Rueckheim built his little popcorn stand into a company that is known to practically every man. woman and child in the world. I am speaking of "Cracker Jacks." This is the centennial year for "Cracker Jacks." and I would like to join with them in celebrating it.
