Description: Chicago has a large Czech population (colloquially known as "Czechcagoans"). The First Czechs came to Chicago in the 1850s and 1860s, shortly after the Habsburgs crushed the Czech Revolution of 1848 in the Crown Kingdom of Bohemia. Their Slovak counterparts would arrive in the city about 40 years later in the early 20th Century. They called their first settlement in the city, concentrated around Canal, Harrison, and Twelfth Streets, Praha (Prague), where they would establish several Czech institutions. Later, many of them settled in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood, which was named after Pilsen, Czechia. The CSA Fraternal Life (Czechoslovak Society of America in New York) is America's oldest Fraternal Society. We add value to our products and services through a Lodge System that provides opportunities for community involvement. This Real Photo postcard, mailed in 1950, is in good condition but shows some franking on the image. Novak Printing Co. No. 323.
