At one time, Cicero, IL, was famous for two things that
had absolutely nothing in common: Al Capone and Western
Electric. The blue-collar town on the West Side of Chicago
served as headquarters for the notorious gangster. But,
Cicero also was home to a sprawling manufacturing complex
called the Hawthorne Works, which produced some of the
most technically advanced products in the world.
