Chicago Now Ranks as the Third
Commercial City in :.
:: America.
What .... 1ndomitable Perseverance,
Pluck, and Energy Has Ac-. .
complished.
Ten Years. Experience Of Her Manu-
facturers, Merchants, Real
Estate Men, Etc.
A Showing of Which Every Resi-
>. dent Of This City Should
Be Proud. *::

Turning retrospectiye1y to the memorable
9th Of October, 1871, ,;,Nhcn our then prosper
GUS and enterprising city was transformed
into mass Of blaeKpr. sd ruins with its conf
nerce laid as fOWus its walls, and to-day
upon our rcsurrected Chicago from the tomb
Of the old, with her rehabilitated commerce.
ranking third in magnitude in the, Union,
we realize the venerable, hoary-headcd- le-
gcnd that has come down from antiquity
"IIistory repeats itself "-tiuds its EXCEPTION
Oh the shores of Lake Michigan, since his
tory nowhere furnishes an instance OF a
magnificent city Of over G00,0o0 souls being
built on the heels of such 4 calamity
within the short interval Of one short
decade, nor parallel of a trade growing from
nothing to over $l,00 000000000 per annum
within tha same brief period. The master
spirits who have succeeded in this wonderful
achievement are deserving Of recognition as
exe1nplars everywhere, and we take pleasure
on the occasion of this immense commeino-
rativt edition Of THE TRIBUNE to hand down
the names Of some OF the men and firms who,
by their lndomitable perseverance, energy
and business foresight, have made Chicago
what she is today, and gives her the promise
in tho near future of being without rival in
her commercial greatness. "..
