Enjoy a trip through historic Evanston. See how Davis Street and Sherman and Orrington Avenues appeared around the beginning of the 20th century. Learn how Fountain Square has evolved and how the Merrick Rose Garden is connected. See Northwestern University as it was founded; along with early Evanstons lakefront; city hall; library; and post office. Many of the buildings shown in this book are still standing; while others have been demolished. In some postcard views the stately elm trees of later decades are seen as saplings. The Library Plaza Hotel; North Shore Hotel; and Georgian Hotel are here as well; along with the historic schools; churches; train depots; and; of course; Grosse Point Lighthouse; which all helped shape the city in its formative years.

LongAs mentioned. this is not a thorough history of SW. nor a technical examination. but just a nice view into the past for anyone interested in the company. Fun pictures of the old factories. workers. some personalities of the eras. as well as a bit of history. Well worth the cost for anyone even moderately interested in the subject.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Lots of pics and vintage ads. enjoyable.By Diego EijoThis is a very enjoyable book for anyone interested in SW. Lots of pictures and vintage ads. Not an in-depth history of the brand but a really light and enjoyable read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not technical but a nice enjoyable book to have aroundBy FredI thought it was a bit expensive for a Kindle book but after purchasing and seeing all of the photos I under stand why. It is worth the price. It is basically a photo album of the history of the company. Not technical but a nice enjoyable book to have around.
