Crowd Outside Deering(?) Works
Image
Elevated view of hundreds of people, possibly factory workers, gathered to hear speeches outside International Harvester's Deering(?) Works. The event appears to be related to World War I. Flags adorn the speakers' stage and there appear to be soldiers in the crowd. A sign near the stage reads: "Why not keep saving? Buy victory loan bonds." The Deering Works was built by William Deering for the Deering Harvester Company in 1880 and became International Harvester's Deering Works in 1902. The factory was located at Fullerton and Clybourn Avenues and closed in 1933.
