I noticed that some of the names in the 60's brochures are named after chicago suburbs like "The Lombard", "The Lisle", "The Glen Ellyn" and "The Berwyn" for example. I always thought that was interesting too as that was one obvious pattern I picked up on.

Thanks wayne.
So are there also sets named "President", "Prime Minister", "il duce", "Der Fehure", etc. to go along with my "emperor"?
