HERE IS A LARGE COLLECTION OF POSTCARDS ABOUT CHICAGO. MUCH OF THE BUILT-ENVIRONMENT OF THE EARLIER POSTCARDS SURVIVED INTO THE 1950-60s, THE PERIOD OF MY GREATEST INTEREST.
INCLUDED ALSO ARE MENUS, MATCHBOOKS, AND OTHER ITEMS REFLECTING CITY LIFE, ESPECIALLY THE 1950-60s. IT IS HOPED THESE PRESERVE SOMETHING OF THE SENSE OF WHAT A SPECIAL PLACE THE CHICAGO OF THAT TIME WAS IN WHICH TO GROW UP.
NON-COMMERCIAL USE OF MATERIAL IS WELCOME. PLEASE CREDIT THE SITE. ___________________
