5. 8A-H2608 Shaw News Agency. Curteich, Chicago. Unused. Later corner view seems more stylized than real. May be a bird's eye McKay, but does not seem possible to get the bank clock tower building in the same view as what appears to be the Civic Auditorium on the other side of the Pantlind. The illustrators seem to have pushed the building with the clock tower behind the Pantlind, and the layout and view of the streets, which might closest come from across the street on Pearl & N. Monroe, are distorted. Possibly the Civic Auditorium behind the Pantlind at right.
The bulk of the collection is described in this series, in alphabetical order by the descriptive information given on the card. Where another later or earlier name is know for the building or view, a cross reference is given under that name. For example, cards published the “Pantlind Hotel” will be under “Pantlind”, while later buildings on the same site, such as the “Amway Grand”, will by listed under “Amway”. A see or see also note to the earlier or later building is usually given.
Researchers can also search the list for their subject listed under alternative heading by using a key word search within the document. Thus, postcards which include multiple views and/or may be described under a general heading, my have the specific heading listed elsewhere under that general heading.
