“That man never possessed fifty dollars in his life. It’s a frame up. Why are you police bothering me? Are you looking for more money? What do you want? I paid my protection money two days ago.”
We will show the price exacted from the prostitute’s master in order that she may exist as a creature of vice and sell every drop of blood in her body to make more money.
FIGURES THAT FREEZE THE BLOOD.
In an investigation that took in the cases of 500 prostitutes it was found that their average earnings were $100 a week.
We are aiming to be conservative. Let us place the average earnings at forty dollars a week, as a basis for figuring out some astounding results.
There are 5,000 outright prostitutes in the city of Chicago. Five thousand women making forty dollars a week will make $200,000 a week.
Five thousand women at forty dollars a week earn in one year—
$10,400,000!
Is it conceivable? Is it possible?
Tortured bodies of women yielding that gigantic income!
