Jack Ruby, Before Dallas
Ruby (third from right) grew up in Chicago, and spent time in
juvenile hall and foster homes. He sold
horse-racing tip sheets and,
later, was implicated in the fatal shooting of the president of the
Teamster's Union; he was cleared of any wrongdoing. Ruby served in
the Army Air Forces during
World War II, working as an aircraft
mechanic at domestic bases until 1946. Pictured: Ruby with
friends

Ruby Kicks Back
Ruby moved to Dallas in 1947 where he managed various nightclubs,
strip clubs, and dance halls.
(And where he changed his name from
Rubenstein to Ruby.) He befriended many Dallas police
officers, who
frequented the nightclubs. Pictured: relaxing in a restaurant while
on leave from
Army service in WWII.
