In the fall of 1926 Eugenio Orgento opened a quaint little shop. It wasn’t stated what Orgento's store sold, but, most customers were interested in what could be found behind the counter as opposed to the shelves. In the four months that he was in business Eugenio received numerous liquor violations.
Ah, but competition can be fierce. Eighty-five years ago on this date Eugenio was put out of business, for good. The building’s janitor was making his rounds and as he was performing his duties in Orgento’s quaint little shop, there, in the rear, he found Eugenio's body. the proprietor had been stabbed to death.
"He must have done something. They don't kill you for nothing." - Chicago Gangster Ted Newberry. Rubbed out January 7, 1933

Another dissatisfied customer. This is why it's important to have a complaint department.
Some shopkeepers never learn.
