Abstract: | The Kniola Travel Bureau was organized in 1890 by Michael P. Kniola, a Polish immigrant to Cleveland, Ohio. The business arranged steamship passage for Polish immigrants, and often helped them find jobs. As immigration slowed it changed its emphasis to insurance and real estate sales. It was sold by Kniola's son in the 1960s. The collection consists of correspondence, ledger books, receipts, money order stub books, steamship ticket stub books, and other fiscal and legal records. | ||
