South Water Street has heen long recognized as one of the most famous fruit and produce centers 

 in the world. The fruit and pioduce dealers were packed on this street like sardines in a box. The 

 street was so crowded that when the wagons backed up there was a solid string of wagons on each 

 side of the street with not over six inches between the hubs. The above illustration is a picture of 

 the new terminal, which will provide ample facilities for the fruit and produce trade of Chicago, 

 which is exceeded by only one city in Itie United States, that being New York.
