★★★ · Not the film described · pcornelius · 2014-12-01

Although the title is correct, this is a film illustrating the “modern, scientific” methods of the General Outdoor Advertising Company, and its “100% poster showings”, using the specific case of the city of Chicago. Many shots of various forms of transport, especially automobiles, and “the street railway systems which honeycomb every district and neighbourhood of the great cities”.
