This is the story of but one out of thousands.
$200,000 ANNUAL WHITE SLAVE PRICE.
We have said there are 2,000 White Slaves sold every year.
The average price is $100 a girl, according to a well known federal official, who has investigated and prosecuted several hundred cases of White Slavery.
That makes the aggregate purchase price of White Slaves in Chicago annually, $200,000!
This same official declared that the South side levee district contributes $60,000 a year to the White Slave Trust for new victims.
The balance is paid by the resort keepers of the other districts of vice and by keepers of the “houses of call”—the places where men of wealth and bestial perversion seek for virgins on whom to wreak the fury of abandoned passions!
Here is a terrible example of the procuring of an innocent girl for the perversion of a wealthy man.
Detectives investigating the conduct of a man implicated in graft charges affecting the high personnel of a big railroad, discovered that at a Michigan avenue “house of call” a tender and unsullied virgin procured by White Slave agents, was given into his lust-stained hands for desecration weekly!
