Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company advertisement printed on cardstock, possibly intended as an ink blotter. Depicts a gnome, buffalo, and frog bowing to a classical statue of a woman in sandals, a shirt, a breastplate which bears Chicago's motto, "I Will," and a helmet topped with an eagle. She holds a sign which reads, "Chicago." The group is on a shore. On the opposite shore is Chicago's Municipal Pier. A D&C passenger steamer is also in the background. Inserted into the image are a map showing the route between Buffalo and Chicago, Arch Rock on Mackinac Island, and a text box which reads:
