Issued two years after the great Chicago fire.#1826 for 15 shares to the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway in 1885. Vignette is a photograph of the exposition building! A few small holes and a couple of small tears are all that detract from this certificate. "The history of the Exposition enterprise is brief. Some months ago several of our citizens, whose names are given elsewhere, called a meeting and took the initiatory steps. Stock was at once subscribed, sufficient an amount to place the undertaking beyond a per-adventure, and all went to work with a will determined to make this the crowning glory of our Second Fire Anniversary. The great building is now under contract, and will be completed as soon as a thousand human hands can do the work, which is very quick here in Chicago. The building will occupy the portion of the lake front at the foot of Adams and Jackson streets, having a frontage of 800 feet on Michigan avenue, and a depth of 200 feet." [chicagology.com]
