Title
My Heart's in Niles Center Sheet Music, 1926
Description
This sheet music, written by Caspar Nathan and L. E. Delson, was the official song of the Greater Niles Center Association. The song, as seen in the lyrics, was used to promote Niles Center to prospective real estate developers and buyers. In the lyrics, Niles Center is referred to as the Triangle of Fortune, the place of opportunity, and as Chicago's Garden spot. On the back of the sheet music the Greater Niles Center Association advertises a contest open to all to write the best letter, story or essay about Niles Center. Those entering the contest were to write about Greater Niles Center's location, about its transportation, facilities, developments, improvements, construction already in and contemplated, its city plan, the new or developed sections, about the profits made in real estate, or a treatise on its possibilities for rapid growth. Niles Center, Illinois, was renamed Skokie in 1940.
