Two years later the Rickovers left Manhattan's seething East Side and moved to Chicago. Prosperous enough to avoid the slums, they settled in respectable Lawndale. They never went hungry again. Father Abraham always had work as a tailor. In 1919 he started a small garment factory, which he sold in 1946. Now he owns an apartment house on Chicago's North Side.
