  
During the 1920’s, the Chicago Rapid Transit Company commissioned the city’s finest graphic designers
to produce advertising posters that encouraged Chicagoans to use rapid transit for more than commuting
to work. Artists such as Otto Brennemann, Norman Erickson, Arthur A. Johnson, Raymond Huelster,
Urgelles and Oscar Rabe Hanson created beautiful, and sometimes dramatic, images that beckoned people
to the parks, museums, universities, and other nearby locales. Many of these original posters are held in
the collections of the Chicago Historical Society.
