Summary Collection of miscellaneous material removed from two scrapbooks relating to the Dill Pickle Club of Chicago, including a small amount of correspondence (some addressed to Jack Jones), poetry, clippings, photographs, announcements and programs for readings, lectures and plays, art work, and other memorabilia. Among others, artists include George Constant and Stanislaus Szukalski. There is also a small amount of material about another Jack Jones venture, Tech-Up.

Biographical/Historical Note Bohemian Chicago social club, founded by former labor activist Jack Jones in 1916, to provide an unconventional meeting-place for the uninhibited and free-thinking, including Socialists, atheists, anarchists, liberated women, lecturers and soap-box orators, artists, actors, playwrights, literary figures, etc. Chartered in 1917, the Dil-Pickle (as it was first known) was a free-speech forum frequented by Ben Reitman, Carl Sandburg, Edgar Lee Masters, Maxwell Bodenheim, Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur, Sherwood Anderson, Floyd Dell and many others. The club's fortunes declined as the Depression progressed, and in 1932 tax difficulties caused its demise.
