Book Description
Excerpt from Chicago Commerce, Manufactures, Banking and Transportation Facilities Statistics compiled from the best and most reliable sources will form a large feature of each work; but these will be elaborated and illuminated with carefully written reviews setting forth in concise form all the particular advantages and circumstances that have led up to the present stage of growth, and which give promise of yet greater advancement. In short, these books will be a compendium of information for the guidance and enlightenment of merchants and dealers of all kinds in the great Western, Northwestern and Southwestern Territories, now tributary, and which can be made tributary to this city. Every effort has been, and will be made in the future, to keep the pages of these works free from all appearance, even, of advertising individual interests; but, to make them the best advertisements of the general interests of Chicago by giving reliable and full accounts of the prominent industries of the whole city.
