Additional Details:
Sixty-five years ago Chicago was a hamlet of less than 3,000 persons. Today it is the second city of the continent and the fifth in the world in population, while in commerce it has been truly called "the greatest commercial city the world has ever seen." The combined output of its wholesale trade was $1,767,304,000. What wonder that this street in the heart of its wholesale district should be called the busiest street in the world
