Chapter 394: A Trip to Chicago (1)
(Ask for a subscription!) Ask for a ticket! )
The Admiralty has been pressured by its allies to reawaken people's attention to the Sunset Empire through this film;
The second is to record this history fiercely under the camera and nail Germany to the pillar of shame.
This wave is called murder and punishment, it is not enough to win, but also to laugh at you for a hundred years.
If the Germans knew about this, they would have nothing to do with the Sunset Empire, and wouldn't it be fun to take revenge on their own ordinary people?
Li Yaoyang just wants to make more money, and he doesn't want to get involved in the competition between countries, which is equivalent to you jumping into the crusher alone, so you can't be stirred into slag?
Besides, are ugly people really so kind?
Anyway, Li Yaoyang didn't believe it, and the Admiralty rushed to publicize the British, and those who didn't know thought that these two families were doing it.
It stands to reason that the two companies are both partners and competitors, and they should not help each other to do publicity.
But the Admiralty did it, and it's worth playing.
Li Yaoyang grabbed Cecil and asked for two days, but this guy didn't let go, he never knew.
I don't know? He doesn't know, who knows?
——————————
Back in the first years of the 19th century, there was an informal trading post on the Chicago Riverfront within the city of Chicago.
There, Indians and American immigrants exchanged with each other what they had.
A few years later, a merchant named Mark Bobeyne opened a tavern on Lake Street, which became the meeting place of the first trade merchants.
By the '40s, a group of traders began to gather on South Water Street, forming Chicago's first produce market.
It went from strength to strength to become the city's premier wholesale produce market.
It was crowded with ox carts, wagons, and freighters every day, and weather-beaten men with rough hands and dirty bodies, mingling with a mysterious dialect that outsiders could barely understand.
The half-mile-long street where the produce market is located covers about 8 to 10 blocks of Chicago and is the center of the city's commercial life.
It is estimated that its annual turnover was already between $300 million and $500 million at that time.
This prosperity continues to the present day, when the City of Chicago has built a new wholesale market in the city due to transportation and sanitation issues, and the entire South Water Street Market has been relocated and the name of the South Water Street Market has been retained.
The South Water Street Market is lined with shops and horse-drawn carriages, and a nearby wharf is under construction, with vehicles shuttling through the streets.
The meandering Chicago River runs through the city, and skyscrapers rise from the shore.
Within a short distance, several bridges were built over the Chicago River.
On the banks of the river, in front of every shop, there are piles of goods and horse-drawn wagons waiting to be loaded.
The long Nanshui Street is a prosperous scene.
At the corner of Nanshui Street, there are many billboards on the shop buildings, and a cargo ship is moored on the shore, forming a group of photos with a sense of historical age.
The vendors and workers on Nanshui Street are carrying baskets full of agricultural products.
A Star-Spangled Banner hangs from the window of every shop, and a car or horse-drawn carriage is parked in front of the door.
If there's one word to describe the South Water Street Market, it's – lively!
I came to Chicago for two things, one was to attend Alcatel's wedding, and yes, this grandson was married.
Who would have thought that a stinky rascal would fall in love one day.
Of course, this is the disappearance, and the second thing is to attend the ribbon-cutting event at the Forum Building in Chicago.
Located in the heart of Chicago, the Chicago Tribune Tower features a majestic Gothic spire and cornices that showcase the newspaper's power and prestige.
After the plans for the building were made public in 1922, the newspaper owner, Colonel McCormick, said that he wanted to build "the most beautiful office building in the world" for his beloved newspaper.
McCormick is a longtime sponsor of the Chicago Tribune, a longtime sponsor of the McCormick family, which founded the Ugly Country International Harvester Company, a representative consortium in the Midwest.
During World War I, McCormick joined General Pershing's Ugly Country Expeditionary Force Command as an intelligence officer as a war correspondent, and was given the rank of wartime colonel, as he later referred to himself as Colonel McCormick.
The best architects were invited to participate in the design, and various quotes about the Fourth Estate, referring to the American press, were used to decorate the corridors.
Before the building was completed, Colonel McCormick instructed his foreign correspondents to collect memorabilia from various historical sites, including the masonry of the Great Wall and the coat of arms of St. Peter's Church in Rome, which were inlaid into the walls of the building.
The building was completed this year, an architectural wonder that Chicago has never seen before, and one author called it "a wonder of stone and steel."
But who knows that a century later, the building will still be standing in place, but the newspaper will be gone.
The Chicago Tribune, founded in 1847, is the largest newspaper in Chicago, the predecessor of Forum Inc., the second largest newspaper group in the United States, and the large core newspaper of the group company, which is considered one of the highest quality newspapers in the country.
The newspaper has a local edition, and the first and last pages of each section are in color, and the rest are in black and white, and it is one of the newspapers that rarely uses color pages among the large daily newspapers in the country of Chouguo.
After entering the 21st century, the average daily circulation was 675,847 copies, ranking seventh in the country;
The Sunday magazine has an average daily circulation of 1,010,704 copies, ranking fourth in the country.
The Chicago Tribune was founded on June 10, 1847, and is the oldest of the top seven newspapers in the country by circulation.
The newspaper was the first to establish a telecommunications news agency in the northwestern part of the country.
1855 Joseph? Medill and his five partners bought the newspaper and in the same year purchased a steam printing press, which greatly improved the efficiency of printing.
From then on, the newspaper began to grow and became the main daily newspaper in the region.
Medir was an elephant, and the Chicago Tribune was also an early supporter of Lincoln and played a large role in Lincoln's rise.
Medill also became a good friend of Lincoln, and the two became very close.
Lincoln once wrote to the Tribune:
"I owe it a lot, and I'm afraid I'll never pay it off in my life."
In 1860, the newspaper published an editorial calling for public elections for Lincoln.
In 1861, the Tribune merged the Donkey Man, Chicago's oldest newspaper, and launched the Sunday magazine on May 26 of the same year.
The city of Chicago was once the "Great Chicago Fire" that shocked the nation, reducing most of the downtown buildings to ashes.
It has been written in the history textbooks of the ugly country, but the Chicago Tribune had a premonition of the fire.
On September 10, 1871, the newspaper published an editorial arguing that due to the prolonged dry weather and the negligence of citizens, many wooden buildings in the urban area were fire hazards, and called on citizens to be vigilant.
This statement was unfortunately true a month later.
On October 9, the disaster, known as the "Great Chicago Fire," burned down the Tribune's new building, which had only been built for three years.
But the newspaper tenaciously continued to publish, and two days later published a historic editorial, "Chicago Will Rise Again."
Soon after, Medill, the publisher of The Tribune, was elected mayor of Chicago for "Disaster Reconstruction."
After Medill's death on March 16, 1899, the newspaper was inherited by the family of his two daughters, whose surnames were McCormidt and Patterson.
From 1914 onwards, the management of the newspaper passed into the hands of two grandsons of the elder Medier, who were Robert ? R. McCormidt and Joseph? M. Patterson.
The two cousins were young and ambitious, doubling the Tribune's circulation and advertising.
Later, after the outbreak of World War I, in 1917, they all joined the army and served overseas (the newspaper had 268 employees who went overseas to fight abroad), and they received the rank of colonel and captain, respectively.
That's why people used to add the word "colonel" in front of McCormidt's name.
After the war, Captain Patterson went to New York to start the Daily News, and the Chicago Tribune was headed by Colonel McCormitt and continued to serve as publisher. In 1921, the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, named after Medier, was created.
Throughout the 66-year history of the 20th century, the newspaper has been accompanied by the famous slogan: "The greatest newspaper in the world".
This quote comes from an article in the same newspaper on February 7, 1909, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, which was originally written as "The Greatest Issue of the World's Greatest Newspaper."
Since August 29, 1911, the newspaper has printed this slogan daily on the front page under the masthead: TheWorld's Greatest Newspaper.
On July 15, 1924, when the newspaper acquired a radio station, it also replaced the original station name WDAP with the English abbreviation WGN.
Under Colonel McCormidt's leadership, however, the Chicago Tribune went to extremes on the basis of Medill's conservatism and became the main spokesman for the Ugly Right.
The colonel said in the newspaper that he signed ". MC" (an abbreviation of his name) memo is a rule in the newspaper, and no one dares to disobey it.
He insisted on narrow nationalism, opposed to all foreigners, and even more so to the British;
He also expressed a strong love and hatred for the boss election, and he opposed Truman's election, and even more opposed to Eisenhower's election.
His newspaper often published fiery editorials, which also affected the news in the newspaper, leading to widespread criticism for its political bias.
But the colonel always considered himself "the greatest newspaper in the world".
In a few more years, he would do everything in his power to oppose Boss Law and his New Deal in the newspapers, and in 1936 he was voted "the most unjust and unreliable newspaper."
Later, it was rated by a reporter in Washington as "the most blatant biased reporting of the news or adding oil and vinegar to exaggerate it...... newspapers".
Colonel McCormitt had been lucky, though.
Despite its fierce rhetoric and criticism, and despite its constant attempts to prove itself right and wrong, the newspaper still had a wide readership and was supported by many elephant people, and its circulation continued to grow rapidly, especially in the area of advertising, which was always in good shape.
During his tenure at the helm of the newspaper, McCormidt founded the popular WGN radio station, built the 36-story Tribune Tower, and owned a 1,000-acre farmstead in the suburbs of Chicago.
Of particular pride is the fact that in 1947, the newspaper's circulation reached an all-time high on its 100th anniversary, with 1.03 million copies on weekdays and 1.54 million on Sundays.
The second largest in the country, surpassed only by the newspaper's sister magazine, the New York Daily News, run by his cousin, Colonel Patterson.
The colonel thus maintained a strong sense of self-confidence until his death in 1955.
After the death of Colonel McCormidt, the Chicago Tribune was taken over by top management because the family had no immediate heirs, and the editorial policy remained the same.
In 1969, Clayton? Kirkpatrick took over as editor-in-chief and embarked on a series of bold reforms, such as abandoning the narrow nationalist slogan of "an ugly newspaper for the ugly people."
We have stopped the practice of turning news columns into editorials and reversed the tendency of editorials to be extreme, and at the same time we have expanded the size of our editorial office and strengthened our news gathering and editing capabilities.
As a result, 1969 was considered a turning point for the Chicago Tribune by the ugly press circles, and the quality of the newspaper improved significantly.
Between 1972 and 1976, Tribune won three Pulitzer Prizes and one International Journalism Award for its local investigative reporting, the same total as the newspaper had won in the previous 50 years, and its circulation remained stable at around 750,000 copies.
On January 1, 1977, the newspaper abandoned the colonel's slogan of "the greatest newspaper in the world" and withdrew it from the front page.
In 1981, the editor-in-chief of the Orlando Outpost, James ? D. Squalls succeeds retired Kirkpatrick as editor-in-chief.
The new editor-in-chief took advantage of the newspaper's newly opened best printing center in the country to redesign the layout in 1982, boldly using color and placing a high emphasis on graphic design, giving the newspaper a new look.
In the 11 years from 1983 to 1994, the newspaper won two Pulitzer Prizes for comics, three Pulitzer Prizes for editorials, one review prize, two awards for explanatory reporting and one national reporting award, for a total of nine Pulitzer Prizes.
The Chicago Tribune is on its way to becoming one of the top newspapers in the United States as a large, high-quality, enlightened newspaper.
In 1989, Squalls' editor-in-chief abruptly resigned after losing the presidency of a competing company. Fuller takes over as editor-in-chief.
Fuller was editor-in-chief of the newspaper's editorial section and won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing.
In 1997, Fuller was promoted to president of Forum Publishing, a subsidiary of Forum Corporation, then the country's eighth-largest newspaper group, and now the second-largest newspaper group, which oversees all of the company's newspapers.
This is the life of the Tribune!
The reason why Li Yaoyang came to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony was entirely because of Cecil's relationship, Cecil had a good relationship with Robert McCormidt, although they were not all the way, but the two families were quite related.
Bringing Li Yaoyang is also because the Atlantic City Daily is getting stronger and stronger, and it also needs more allies in the press.
The New York Times counted one, and the Philadelphia Inquirer counted half.
If the Chicago Tribune can be added, it can basically guarantee a solid position in the northeast of the ugly country.
However, the difficulty is a bit big, because Robert McCormidt is narrow-minded, Li Yaoyang is worried that he can't help but shoot him.
Sure enough, as soon as they met, the other party gave him a note of Ma Wei.
