Book Description
Excerpt from The Glory of Chicago Her Manufactories; The Industrial Interests of Chicago: Comprising a Classified List, With Locations and Brief Description, Capital Invested, Number of Men Employed, and Amount of Annual Production, of the Principal Manufacturing Establishments in the City They add to the actual wealth of the country, instead Of merely exacting toll from the products of others that pass through their hands. Instead Of passing wealth from one pocket to another without increasing it, our industrial interests are actu ally increasing the volume Of the wealth of the city, the coun try, and of the world. In this, every reader will see and acknowledge the truth Of our motto - the glory OF chicago - her manufactories! The manufacturing interests of the city are, therefore, the most important to its continued growth in wealth and population. Again, the present autumn is to form a new era in the his tory Of the city. The second anniversary of the great fire will witness a rebuilt city, and the inauguration Of the grand Inter State Exposition, which Is an acknowledgment of the now para mount importance Of its industrial interests, and that hereafter they are to have, as they deserve, the first place in the cousi deration of her people. What more fitting occasion, then, could be found for the publication of a full and comprehensive account of our manufactures, showing their kind, number and value, the amount Of capital invested in them, the number Of men they employ, and the value of products annually turned out? Hundreds of thousands Of strangers will be in our city, and they will all become more or less interested in the considera tion Of manufactures and industrial interests generally. Our inter-state Exposition is, essentially, an Industrial Exposition. It has been inaugurated for the purpose Of exhibiting the pro ducts of our manufactures throughout the Northwest. Hence every visitor to the Exposition will want to see this record Of Chicago's manufacturing industries. This will show not only what Chicago is doing at the present time, but her immense capabilities for the future: that she is to be, not only the great central commercial metropolis, but, as well, the great nucleus of the manufacturing interests of the whole country, from which radiate the light of intelligence and the influences Of wealth and refinement, to the extremest limits Of the land.

Chicago's Southeast Side

Pages : 132
Book Description
Steel and the steel industry are the backbone of Chicago's southeast side, an often overlooked neighborhood with a rich ethnic heritage. Bolstered by the prosperous steel industry, the community attracted numerous, strong-willed people with a desire to work from distinct cultural backgrounds. In recent years, the vitality of the steel industry has diminished. Chicago's Southeast Side displays many rare and interesting pictures that capture the spirit of the community when the steel industry was a vibrant force. Although annexed in 1889 by the city of Chicago, the community has maintained its own identity through the years. In an attempt to remain connected to their homelands, many immigrants established businesses, churches, and organizations to ease their transition to a new and unfamiliar land. The southeast side had its own schools, shopping districts, and factories. As a result, it became a prosperous, yet separate, enclave within the city of Chicago.
