Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
There are 6 million people just beyond these trees
"No small-hearted city. . . could have
established it or made the sacrifices
necessary to maintain it." That's what
Frank Lloyd Wright said about the
vast and wonderful system of forest
preserves now bordering the city of
Chicago.
Sacrifices there certainly were, particularly
during the frustrating years
of struggle by public-spirited citizens
to gain official approval for acquiring
land for parks and playgrounds.
Dwight H. Perkins, a Chicago
resident with no political power or special
influence, `vas one of the
prime movers in the crusade to educate the public…
officials and leading business men,
printed and distributed thousands
of leaflets, even conducted walking
tours of the woodlands
outside the city to give
more people a first-hand
knowledge of the natural
beauty that could be preserved
for themselves and
future generations.
Although many Chicagoans were impressed
and in favor, an incredible number of legal…
Chicago has more wild land within
easy reach of its citizens than any other
large city in the U. S.-a priceless gift
that frees the city dweller

cement to breathe deeper
and restore his spirit in
the woodlands at the end
of the street.
Discover America by car-it’s worth seeing and saving.

A great Vintage Ad!
You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!
We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).
Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product. Back side of Vintage Ad is glued to backing paper so that it continues to display flat over time. Here is what you will receive:
- New frame
- New mat
- New glass
