original ca. 1947 (came out of a scrapbook of a U S Army Air Corps / U S Air Force officer) who traveled through the U S ca. 1946-1949) promotional leaflet for the:

Luxurious, Friendly, Commodious

Chicago's Hotel Knickerbocker
Finished size is 3
1/2
x 5
7/8
inches; opens for reading or perusal to 17
1/2
inches by 5
7/8
inches = 10 panels or pages, profusely illustrated with a number of views showing the great mid-century look of the club. Although the pamphlet has 10 panels (or pages), only 5 of them are shown in the scans.
Interestingly the club was run and managed mostly by women: Beulah T. Hurst was the Club manager; Jane A Magan was chair of the Club's Board of Directors; other directors included Celia M. Howard; Edna C. Smith; Marie Erikson; Alma Koch; Alma Rasmussen; Pearl I. Field; and Grace Tugwell. The "token" male member of the board was Bert Schiller McDonald ;-}
Great mid-century Chicago Illinois memorabilia.
As of 4 June 2021 there was no other listing for this pamphlet on ebay in either current or completed listings

WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
NO EXCEPTIONS.
FREE SHIPPING via stiff plastic postcard holder and/or cardboard + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE.
Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Parcel." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #)  at checkout if they choose to do so.
I ship AT LEAST twice a week (and OCCASIONALLY 3 times per week) so turnover time or handling time is 3
business
days (Mon-Fri)
max
- often less than that.
PAYPAL IS THE MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT.
Thanks!
Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND
NOT
FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.
PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS.
In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
