Description

Before the tower that bears its name was completed in 1973, Sears, Roebuck & Company operated a gigantic multi-use complex on Chicago’s West Side. This advertising card with a view of the vast facility encourages the reader to visit ‘The World’s Greatest Mercantile Institution.”

A simple transportation diagram on the verso provides transit directions to the 40-acre site, with accompanying instructions from popular transportation depots.
