During the 1950's the Outfit was supplied primarily by the New York Mob, with exception of some situations where the Florida faction delivered, and after that the Chicago boys distributed the product to all Midwestern cities of secondary importance, such as Omaha, Tulsa, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Iowa, Los Angeles, Houston, Denver and sometimes even in St. Louis but I dont have Rockford anywhere. This lasted until Giancana became the boss who in turn began creating his own or the Outfit's secondary connections or drug routes. During the 1960's the drug route around the Mexico border was mainly controlled by the Outfit, the Gambinos and the Bonannos
While Accardo was the boss during the late 1940s and early 50's, he mingled around many dope peddlers but when they got caught by the cops and his name was brought up, Accardo ordered everyone to be eliminated and thats why during the early 1970s when he became the top boss, he was completely against it. You see during the 70s a lot of guys were killed, over 100 i think, because of various reasons and one of those was narcotics. So I hardly believe that anyone openly dealt with it while guys like Accardo, Cerone and Alex were still alive and at the top...I didnt mention Aiuppa on purpose since according to one document, at first he stayed open minded (we dont know for how long) but later allegedly changed his mind and was also against it. So its possible that during the late 1980s Carlisi and DiFronzo kept more than few secrets from the old man Accardo, since by that time Aiuppa and Cerone were in jail while Alex was also considered an old man and stayed out of the day-to-day business decisions
Just curious, do you have any sources about The Outfit and Houston? Did you read that in a book somewhere?
Nope but instead you can find info in the FBN files.
In fact if you want to hear more about Houston and the Outfit, during the late 1950s North Side member Gerald Covelli and one of his associates Max Olshon, who in turn had connections in that area, transported stolen cars from Chicago and Springfield, Illinois to Houston, Texas, while crossing state lines which was a federal crime, and once the cars reached their destination, they were smuggled into Mexico and Guatemala for resale.
