   Here's the Encyclopedia of Chicago entry:   
   http://encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/2559.html   
      
   From a Northlake Web page:   
      
   	Industries such as Scholle Chemical and Automatic Electric bought   
   	land on the City.s western perimeter. Automatic Electric sat on a   
   	portion of the old Westward Ho Golf Course, located on what is now   
   	Westward Ho Drive and Golfview Drive. The golf course was one of   
   	the country.s premier spots for golf. It ceased operation in 1957.   
      
   I'm not spotting an address, but I guess that's not too far from   
   Proviso Yard.   
      
   I never saw the plant.
