CANDY: SOMETHING EVERYBODY LOVES

Here's Isabella Helen Shannon who is known throughout Chicagoland for
her delicious sweets and who has made a successful business of candy
making in the home-enterprise field.  Personally she attends to every
detail of the business in the beautiful old residence at 1822 Maypole
Avenue that was first the home of her grandparents, later that of her
parents, and now her home.  As a child she was known as the "little
girl who could make good candy."  So, candy it is today.  The dining
room and kitchen of the old two-story house are her workrooms and here
she is busily at work filling orders from the cabinets at her elbow.

Miss Shannon and her cousin, Walter Shannon, who helps with the
executive end of the candy business, look over some old family
keepsakes, in one of the parlors of the home.  Scores of family
friends delight in "dropping" in for a call at the Shannon home. Many
judges and other public officials are numbered among their warm
friends.  Fred Snite, Jr., the now famous young man in the iron lung,
frequently sends a cheery message to Miss Shannon. Her home parish is
St. Jarlath's and it is a proud family tradition that Father Grogan,
the first pastor of St. Jarlath's, made his home with her grandparents
when he was sent to establish the well known West Side parish.  Miss
Shannon's father, John Shannon, was for many years treasurer of the
Father Mathew Temperence Society.

CANDY CONSCIOUS

BOXES ARE GREEN

Copy from a newspaper whose name starts with "The N" but the rest is
cut off.  This was on page 10 "Women's Interests". From the other
articles, it might have been a Catholic paper of some kind.  The
article included some photos of Isabella at work.  I received my copy
from Patrick T. Shannon in 2003. Patrick's father was Robert
A. Shannon, a nephew of the Walter Shannon in the article.
