    See hdl.loc.gov/loc.ndlpcoop/ichicdn.n060955 for a photo of the same group from the Chicago Daily News. That picture was published on August 5, 1913.

    swanq: Thanks for the information. Finding the same photograph over in the Chicago Daily News collection is particularly helpful! We will expand this caption information when we update.
