PHOTO - CHICAGO - POLK BROTHERS STORE - CHRISTMAS SHOPPING - WE ALL KNEW THIS NAME FROM ADVERTISING - BUT I WAS NEVER THERE - WHAT A DREARY-LOOKING PLACE - 1959
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. ___________________
