Greetings from the Shores

Like many Field Notes releases, “The Great Lakes” Edition required extensive research, both for the text and the visuals. While searching for vintage Great Lakes ephemera on eBay, Jim came across a few similar colorful postcards printed on linen cardstock. A bit of Googling revealed these collectible “Art-Colortone” cards, produced by Curt Teich and Co., were a goldmine of American history, told with ink and paper… just the sort of thing we get excited about. – Aug. 3rd, 2022

Designed by prominent local architect Julius H. Huber, the building stood on the corner of Clark and Ontario and was called Brand’s Hall. It advertised itself as a “Hall to Rent for All Occasions,” and it did just that, serving as a popular, conveniently located space for conventions, parties, meetings, and near-nightly dances. – Oct. 18th, 2016
