(Cords) Raap.〔(Album of genealogy and biography, Cook County, Illinois )〕 The Raap family moved to America in 1854, settling in Chicago in a house on Cornell Street near Ashland Avenue.〔 John Henry also had a sister named Minnie. He had been confirmed in the German Lutheran Church, and remained an adherent of that faith. He learned to speak English fluently, and after arriving in Chicago he began working in a brick yard while attending a night school to prepare for a business career.〔 Raap's first business venture, in 1859 at the age of 18, was a grocery store at the corner of Pratt Street and Milwaukee Avenue. He opened this business with a capital of only $50, and sold out at a considerable profit at the end of two years.〔(Origin, growth, and usefulness of the Chicago Board of Trade ), published 1885〕 At the outbreak of the Civil War, Raap enlisted in the volunteer service in Company A, under Captain Molotzy, and was sent to Cairo with seventeen other companies; these were the first troops raised in Chicago.〔 At the expiration of seven months from date of enlistment Raap was mustered out of service, in consequence of continued ill health.〔 He ran a general store for two years in the nearby town of Dunkel's Grove (now Addison, Illinois), and then disposed of this business and returned to the city in 1864 where he reopened in a frame building.〔〔 He engaged in the flour and feed trade in this small building on Milwaukee Avenue, and when he opened his wholesale liquor house, he merged his smaller building into it.〔 In 1870 he built his three-story brick buildings, known as Raap's block, a portion of which he occupied for his rapidly increasing business.〔 Raap gradually extended his trade until he ranked among the most successful German businessmen in Chicago.〔 After the block was completed, Raap successfully embarked in the saloon business, and in 1874 he became an importer and wholesale dealer in foreign and domestic wines and liquors.〔 From 1873 to 1977, Raap was Captain of State Militia.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Henry Raap」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
