(805 ILCS 20/3) (from Ch. 32, par. 192)
Sec. 3.
In proceedings under this Act, summons shall issue and be
served as in other civil actions, except that service shall be had in the
county in which the principal office of such corporation is by its charter
located. If process is returned not found, the Attorney General shall
cause publication to be made as in other civil actions in a newspaper of
general circulation published in the county where the principal office of
such corporation is located. The publication shall contain a notice of the
pendency of such action, the title of the court, the title of the case, and
the date on or after which default may be entered. The Attorney General
may include in one notice the names of any number of corporations against
which actions are then pending in the same court. The Attorney General
shall cause a copy of such notice to be mailed to the corporation at its
registered office within 10 days after the first publication thereof. The
certificate of the Attorney General of the mailing of such notice shall be
prima facie evidence thereof. Such notice shall be published at least once
each week for two consecutive weeks and the first publication thereof may
begin at any time after summons has been returned. Unless a corporation
shall have been served with summons, no default shall be taken against it
earlier than 30 days after the first publication of such notice.
