Hurstwood's place of employment

[edit]

The article mentions Hurstwood's place of employment at Fitzgerald and Moy's. I have just finished reading this book (ISBN 0140188282). The owners of the resort are mentioned as Hannah and Hogg and to be exact, Hurstwood managed their "Adams Street Place". There is no reference to Fitzgerald and Moy's. A quick search confirms:

Could someone please verify this?

In the Gutenberg version of 'Sister Carrie', it reads "At Rector's Drouet had met Mr. G. W. Hurstwood, manager of Fitzgerald and Moy's." Note also "His [Drouet's] preference for Fitzgerald and Moy's Adams Street place was another yard off the same cloth." Vamsee is right about the Google quotes, however. After some googling, I found this quote on the web: "In the 'original', Hurstwood's resort is Hannah and Hogg's, rather than Fitzgerald and Moy's. Hannah and Hogg's were actual bars throughout Chicago, apparently continuing to exist through Prohibition."
