ILLUSTRATED PAPER COVERS. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : NO DUST JACKET AS ISSUED. FIRST EDITION THUS. THIS ISSUE OF "HOLIDAY MAGAZINE" - DECEMBER, 1960 CONTAINS AN ARTICLE BY SEAN O' FAOLAIN THAT IS TITLED "THE THREE CHICAGOS". THE ARTICLE IS ESSENTIALLY A KNOWLEDGEABLE TOUR GUIDE THROUGH CHICAGO, ITS CHANGING NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEIR POPULATIONS AND ITS SUBURBS WITH A DASH OF HISTORY THROWN IN. THE THREE CHICAGO'S CORRESPONDS TO SOUTH CHICAGO AND A BIT OF CRIME HISTORY, THE MIGRATION AND GROWTH OF THE WESTERN SUBURBS AND THE CENTER OF THE CITY, THE CHICAGO LOOP, AND THE NORTH SIDE AND ITS AFFLUENT NORTHERN SUBURBS. THE ARTICLE IS SUPPORTED BY MULTIPLE PHOTOS OF THE "MOVERS" OF CHICGO IN 1960. AS OPPOSED TO MOST MAGAZINE TOUR GUIDES OF THE CENTER OF THE CITY, O' FAOLAIN EXPLORES THE HERITAGE AND TRADITION OF ITS PEOPLE RATHER THAN ITS MUSEUMS. THE NOTABLE RESTAURANTS OF 1960 ARE DESCRIBED BUT. OF COURSE, MOST IF NOT ALL OF THOSE RESTAURANTS ARE NOW GONE. A SECOND VERY ENJOYABLE ARTICLE IS A LONG PROSE POEM BY OGDEN NASH THAT IS TITLED "THE TWELVE MISTAKES OF CHRISTMAS." OF COURSE THIS MAGAZINE IS THE CHRISTMAS ISSUE AND IT IS FILLED WITH ENTICING ADS FOR ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS ON ALMOST EVERY PAGE. MANY OF THE PRODUCTS NO LONGER EXIST. MOST OF THE ADS ARE FOR LUXURY PRODUCTS SUCH SPORTS BOATS, VACATION SITES ON CARIBBEAN ISLANDS AND AUTOMOBILES. THIS IS A FUN MAGAZINE FOR RECALLING MORE PEACEFUL DAYS. Size: 10 5/.8" X 13".
