Reproduction panorama
engraving of the city known as St. Louis, MO, published by Fred Graf in
1907. With the underlining slogans of "To the Front" and "Nothing
Impossible", St. Louis continued to prosper until the first World War.
Residential areas began to merge together between major roads that
linked easily to the outlying communities. Along these roads shopping
centers popped up at every intersection. The transit system used these
thoroughfares making them busy hubs. In 1907 the United Railways Company
took control of the last independent line creating one single transit
system that would serve the entire city. The World's Fair of 1904 had
brought worldwide attention to St. Louis and spurred a new era of
construction that included hotels, office buildings and homes. St. Louis
was becoming the world's largest producer of products such as beer,
shoes, wagons and stoves.
The panorama image features lively
scenes of railroad, riverboat, carriage, automobile and streetcar
traffic.
