NOTES:

In 1959 Ted Kluszewski an 11 year veteran of the Cincinnati Reds, purchase interest in the original Charcoal Steak house at 1106 East McMillan street in Cincinnati. Kluszewski partnered up with the nationally known restaurateur Jack Stayin, who took on the name "Jack and Klu's."

Opening day 1960, Cincinnati Redleg fans weren't permitted to forget ex-Cincy slugger Ted Kluszewski, who was playing for the Chicago White Sox at the time. Before the game an airplane circled Crosley Field several times, and behind the plane was a huge banner reading: "Dine at Big Klu's Charcoal Steak house." By 1963 Jack and Klu's opened restaurants in 5 locations.

The inside of this Jack and Klu's matchbook lists four locations. The back panel features Ted Kluszewski facsimile signature inside a baseball. Kluszewski sold his interest in the restaurant in 1971, but the steakhouse retained his name. Following the joint venture with Kluszewski, Jack Stayins sold the restaurant in 1975.
