Description: Spiritual and material resources of an indomitable community, who know its history, its resolution, its mission. We who are so close to Chicago's many and various activities and who have watched the city's rapid growth, not as spectators but as participants, set forth this book that the world may also share our pride and confidence. What are we, fellow workers building the youngest of the great cities? We are an incorporation of the forces of destiny; and what we would we Will. Chicago would have everyone its friend. By what method then may this desire be accomplished? Not by spreading boastful and false impressions of greatness, but by truths of record. Chicago is no better, but also no worse, than/ any Other great city. We are world leaders in many lines of industry and commerce; and by hard work only has this position been gained. We therefore take credit where credit is due, but are glad to give with the same spirit.
