This film produced by the outdoor advertising industry in the 1940s is a great slice of everyday history. It shows some classic product advertisements, vintage Chicago street scenes and antique vehicals. We also get an in depth story about how outdoor advertising works.
I remember walking to my neighborhood school. School busses were unheard of in the city, only in rural areas where schools were few and far between.

Yes, but this was not new. It really started after WWI in the 1920's.
