From Want Ads in Good Old Days magazine:
Searching for descendants of my uncle, Rudolph Novy (Novi), born in Bohemia (Europe) in May 1880. He was the son of Mary (Slama) and John Novy. Lived in Will County (Wilmington, Ill.) area between 1900-1910. Whereabouts unknown after that date; possibly in California. Any information greatly appreciated. Helen Novy Saltzman, 987 N.
