Housed on $5,000,000 Pier. When the mayor describes the great Pageant of Progress his remarks are abundant with phrases that picture its bigness. He and his committee have been working on the pageant since the first of the year. When the mayor, William Hale Thompson, begins to talk on this subject he tells of hia aim to avoid bread lines and free lodging houses, to stimulate business and inci- dentally put Chicago on the map as the greatest industrial center in the world. It is conceded that Chicago is the second port of the United States. The great municipal pier, on which the Pageant of Progress is to be held, would advance Chicago as a port, but because of war conditions, which called the large steamers off the lakes, the possi- bilities of the pier have not yet been realized in this direction. The illustra- tion herewith shows plainly the two long sheds in which the exposition is to be held. The success of the Pageant is already evident. Everywhere people are talk- ing about it. Millions of pieces of ad- vertising matter, including posters, bill- boards, stickers, letters, cards, large and small, have been used to tell the whole nation that Chicago will put on the biggest industrial show of the age. It may be interesting to note here that this is to be an annual event, occurring each year at about the same time. "Twenty-Five Shows in ; Although the advertisements promise "twenty-five shows in one," the pro- gram offers many more. A general sketch of the exposition will show that under no other circumstances and in no other location could a show of this kind be carried out successfully. Amusements of every kind will be afforded. Aeronautical and naval fetes in all their splendor will interest everyone. Dancing, boating, picnick- ing and all the other pnioyments
