CHICAGO 
 
 CHICAGO, the great iiilaiul metropolis of America, is situated at the head of Lake Michigan, a location 
 which forever assures to it the commercial supremacy of the Great West. The astounding development 
 of this city is one of the most astonishing marvels of the age. A little unimportant meeting-place for 
 voyagers and traders in lsl"2, it has grown from yearto year, like a mighty giant, until now it covers one hundred 
 and ninety s<iuare miles of territory, extends along the lake front for twenty-four miles, and is the second city 
 in population and importance in the United States, having, it is estimated, over two millions of inhabitants. 
 
 In spite of the rapidity of its development and the disastrous fire of 1871, the well-paved streets and substan- 
 tial architecture of Chicago gives to the city the permanency and solidity of a much older community. The 
 streets and boulevards, over four thousand miles long, are paved for at least one-half their length. 
 
 The city is divided into three natural parts, known as the North Side, the South Side, and the West Side, by 
 the Chicago River and its branches. Sixty or more splendidly built bridges and several tunnels connect these 
 sections. The business center is in the South Side and extends from the River to Twelfth Street. State, Clark, 
 Dearborn, La Salle and Market streets and Fifth and Wabash avenues are typical business streets upon which 
 there is an enormous diurnal traffic. The main avenues run parallel with the Lake, many equalling the length 
 of the city. 
 
 Chicago was originally built on a flat prairie, raised slightlj' above the lake, but with its development the 
 original sand and swamp have been elevated, and the lake front protected by various permanent structures. 
 North from Chicago Avenue the Lake Shore Drive and Lincoln Park are secured from the action of the waves 
 by a massive wall. 
 
 For many years Chicago was referred to as a typical American city inclined to put but little money and effort in 
 self-beautification, but the last twenty-five j-ears has seen a steady e.xpansion of a great Park System comprising 
 some of the most delightful municipal breathing spots in America ; the erection of public buildings designed in 
 exquisite taste; and the adornment of public places with wonderful works of art from the most noted living 
 sculptors. Its great University, ideal Public Library, unsurpassed school system, beautiful churches and well- 
 equipped and endowed hospitals demonstrate the awakening of the people to the finer things of life — a thorough 
 awakening which has made the name of Chicago famous throughout the world as a leader in municipal improve- 
 ment. 
 
 No American can doubt the ultimate destiny of this aggressive and progressive city to be its elevation to the 
 first place as the greatest metropolis of the Western Hemisphere.

 Dearborn Street, the " Sixth Avenue " of Chicago, is one of the city's leading retail business thoroughfares. Here are banks, hotels and cafes in confusing array.

 Lincoln Park.

 square bounded by Washington, Clark, La Salle and Randoliih streets. It was live years in building and cost six million dollars. The heavy style of architecture
