. EBB GHT I9O8. V. O. MAMMON PUB CO. CHICAGO Truly "The City Wonderful" Great*in its growth and great in its achievements. In 1835, within the memory of men now living, Chicago had a population of 500. In 1907 it had increased to over 2.000,000, a growth greater than that of any city in the history of mankind. Tn 1850 she was twentieth in population of cities in the United States ; today she is second and will, if present conditions con- tinue, become the first at a time not far remote. The secret of this wonderful growth is partly found in the city's commanding position at the southern end of Lake Michigan at a point where the railways crossing the country from the East to the Northwest naturally touch, and where the southern roads connecting with the Great Lakes find their natural terminal. So situated, the city has become the greatest collecting and distributing center in the world. She is easily the greatest of all railway centers, being the terminus of 32 railway lines operating 65,000 miles of main track. She is, also, one of the greatest of ports, the aggregate tonnage of her harbors in iyob being 15,405,200 tons. Chicago is the largest cattle market in the world and has the largest packing houses. Single day's receipts of the Union Stock Yards show 44.445 cattle, 59.30J hogs, and 59,362 sheep. In manufactures she is surpassed only by London and by New York, and her convenient location with respect to the iron ore regions of Lake Stiperior and the great coal fields of Illinois, together with her advantage as the foremost collect- [] ing and distributing center of the continent, insures her future as a manufacturing city. She leads commercially, owing much of her greatness to the energy, the daring enterprise, and the untiring zeal of her business men. She has the largest trade in agricultural implements, -hardware, men's furnishing goods, ready-made clothing, and in many other litres; and, in her imjnense mail trading business, le^ds all other cities. She has the largest and finest retail department store in the world, .and has produced the prince of all merchants. Chicago has more Germans th^n anjr,city in Germany, Berlin and .Hamburg excepted; more Bohemians than any city except Prague; more Scandinavians than any city except Stockholm; affd rrtore Jews than can be found in Palestine. Aftey-her baptism by fire irf' 1871 her citizens mdt'the situation with! a spirit and courage that overcame all obstacles. 07.540 buildings were destroyed, and ?290 t ooo.ooo lost: but in three-years the whole-burned district was rebuilt, and the city set wit upon a career of progress and growth unexampled in the history of all the world. Though her natural location as the industrial, commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural capital of this nation has 'been generally recognteed, few have realized that Chicago is rapidly becoming one of the most beautiful of cities. F'ven new her system of parks and boulevards is unexcelled by that of any city in the country, and the great improve- ments and additioRS now under way are indeed the most ijnportant iiKhe city's history. The new park now being oVeated adjacent to the down" town business district, and stolen from the waters of Lake Mich- igan, will be the pride of the city. HThe proposed boulevard drive to be built in tlie lake, connecting'the Lake Front Park (Grant Park) with Jackson Park ' will give the city an almost continuous parkway along its entire 30 miles of lake shore. tn strange contrast to the congested down town district are the ( beautiful residential ancl suburban districts of the city. \Vhile t the former aims more for utility and business convenience, the latter attest the cultivated tastes of her citizens and their strong love of home. AH that wealth and refinement can bestow are found in the b/eautiful homes adorning her boule- vards and suburban di-liioU. During the last decade Chicago has made unusual'a.dvances as an educational and musical center. Her great Chicago University is one of the most liberally endowed institutions of learning in the world and its 31 buildjngs and 100 acres of ground afe valued at S's.ooo.ooo. If space permitted, mention might be made of other great universities and colleges located in Chicago or her suburbs,' of the many great professional schools and musical colleges, of the Art Institute, the Thomas Orchestra. and.other educa- tional influences contributing so much to Chicago's real greatness-and power. lie who would study America must come to Chicago, where beats the heart of this great, nervous, fast growing and ambitious nation. From out this whirlpool of business old Father Time emerges, battle-scarred and bruised, for*here his passage is jealously contended, and evevy step vigorousjy.opposed. No mere idler can be happy in Chicago; here is the spirit of work, and every man. woman and child feel it. B NEW POST OFFICE BUILDING.
