Downtown Chicago with Wrigley and Tribune Buildings | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
Numerous cars driving on what appears to be the Michigan Avenue Bridge (later renamed DuSable Bridge) in front of the Wrigley and Tribune buildings. There is a clock tower on the Wrigley building, and a bas-relief sculpture on the bridge. In the background on the right, a banner is hanging from the side of a warehouse building for Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. that reads, in part: "Join Us In Celebrating Harvester's 100 Years in Chicago / South End Soldier Field Oct 18 - Nov 2."
