Budd, presi- dent of these three companies, telling him of the awards, H. Sparks, chairman of the exhibition committee, said : "The traction companies of your City are entitled to the greatest credit for their enterprise in issuing the in- teresting set of posters which you sent for this exhibition for not one in the lot is commonplace, and several are exceptional. May their example be an inspiration to other companies in this country to do the same thing for 'the benefit of all concerned." "It is a collection of very, very stun- ning posters," said Burton Emmett, presidents The American . Institute of Graphic Arts, who served on the com- mittee on award, in a letter on the posters written Mr. Budd. "Their ef- fect on the citizens of Chicago cannot help but be to strengthen their civic pride, and the posters themselves can- not but add to the culture of the city." The Chicago, North Shore and Mil- waukee railroad and the Chicago Rapid Transit company were the pio- neers in artistic travel posters in the United States. Only recently have other transportation and public utility companies realized their worth and followed the lead of these Chicago companies.
