The Great Unknown (Wilhelm Frohm)


San Franciscans wondered about the strange, tall man who they saw walking every day and they called him The Great Unknown. Tailor Wilhelm Frohm himself did not know he was the subject of conversation for some time. When he found out, he tried to capitalize on his fame by renting a hall and selling tickets for the opportunity to meet him and find out who he was. Only one reporter showed and by the next morning, all of San Francisco knew the identity of the mysterious man in black.
