Title
On the Way to Suffield Terrace Letter, 1928
Description
This promotional letter from Krenn & Dato's General Sales Manager, P. D. Angell, gives the reader directions to Suffield Terrace from Downtown Chicago. In the process of giving the directions, a comparison of land values is explored. How the values have increased is presented through comparisons such as in Rogers Park where real estate in the area was valued at $5,975,130 in 1907 and increased to $45,835,403 by 1923. Besides suggesting how land values have increased in the Chicagoland area, the letter also shows how Chicago's population has grown from 1.1 million in 1890 to 3.35 million in 1928.
