Excerpt from An Account of the Origin and Growth of Chicago and Its First Department Store: The Story of Centralized Shopping Under One Roof, Its Unique Location and Events Connected With Its History What swift and wonderful changes, what a world of activity, what a marvelous labor of city building, what an unparalleled development of business and social life have been witnessed in this city of ours since forty years ago! Magic is the only word for the making of a city like Chicago that has transformed from a feeble trading post to a mighty metropolis within the span of a single century, and from a town of small stores to a retail metropolis within a period of two-score years. How all this happened is one of the most fascinating stories that could possibly be told. It crowds within one human lifetime almost the complete epic of civiliza tion. What a marvelous movie film is the mind of the man or woman who happened to be born in Chicago when it was a sprawling pioneer village and has lived to see it become America's second city! And many an Old Settler in Chicago has personally spanned the great gap between these two extremes and seen every step of this development. What film feature ever thrown upon the screen can compare in scope and vividness with such a memory reel? None.
