Alexander Busch, proprietor of the Superb Dye Works at 1721-23 Milwaukee 
avenue, with branch offices at 1456 Humboldt blvd., 516 Noble street, and 786 
W. North avenue, was born in Bialystok, Russian Poland, on September 8, 1871, 
and is the son of Julian and Helen (Iulski) Busch. The father, who for many 
years was salesman for a large manufacturing establishment, died in his native 
land. He was the father of seven children, as follows: Casimir; Helen 
(deceased); Alexander; Gottfried; John; Julian and Mary (deceased).

Alexander of this family was reared to manhood in his native land and educated 
in the Royal school of his native city. In youth he served three years' 
apprenticeship at the dyers' trade. In 1892 in company with his brother 
Gottfried, he came to the United States and located permanently in Chicago. 
His mother and other brothers came to this city at a later date, and all are 
now residents of this city. For the first ten years of his residence here he 
was employed at his trade with the different dye houses of the city. In 1902, 
with others he embarked in an independent business, but since 1906 has been in 
business alone. He now operates one of the leading establishments of the kind 
in the city. His business is steadily growing and he gives employment to forty-
two persons. He is a progressive, public-spirited and enterprising Polish-
American citizen and in politics is a Republican. He is a member of the 
National Dyers' and Cleaners' association, Chicago Dyers' and Cleaners' 
association, Polish National Alliance, Maccabees and Royal League. On 
September 8, 1892, he married Eugenia, daughter of Frank Struzynski, of 
Russian Poland, and they have six children: Regena (deceased); George, 
Vladimir, Alexander, Jr., Henry and Arona.
