| Abstract | One of our goals in this exhibit is to illustrate Germans at work in both the hinterland and the city [Chicago and the towns, villages, and farms around it]. Another goal is to show "how the work performed by Germans changed during a time of extremely rapid industrial development." Panels are described as depicting farm scenes; the Elgin Herold newspaper, Haeger Potteries, brickyards, and bridge construction; artisan shops, Schwenck, Pieper's blacksmith shop, Kraus print shop, Fuerst and Bradley; Peter Schuttler's wagon works, Elgin watch works, stockyards; McCormick's Reaper Works, Finkl Steel; and Germans in the labor movement. |
