Description: The blast furnaces at Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company's South Chicago Works in Chicago, Illinois, ca. 1920-1929. James A. Campbell's success in steel manufacturing was not limited to the Youngstown regional area. As president of Youngstown Sheet and Tube, he led the 1923 purchase of the South Chicago blast furnace from the Steel and Tube Company. Campbell immediately spent millions of dollars on new construction and modernization of the plant. Located on the Kalumet River, near the river's outlet to Lake Michigan, the South Chicago Works quickly became a valuable distributor of foundry, malleable, bessemer, and basic pig iron for the company.

Description: View of the "Ohio Monument" at the World's Fair Grounds in Chicago, Illinois, ca. 1893. The "My Jewels Monument," sometimes called "These Are My Jewels Statue," is located on the northwest corner of Capitol Square in Columbus, Ohio. Created by Levi T. Scofield (a Union officer who had previously created the epic Sailors and Soldiers Monument in Cleveland), the monument was exhibited by the state of Ohio at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, and then placed on its present site. Figures of Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Philip H. Sheridan, Edwin M. Stanton, James A. Garfield, Salmon P. Chase, and Rutherford B. Hayes, Ohio soldiers and statesmen, surround a shaft topped by a statue of Cornelia, the Roman matron. Her words, "These Are My Jewels," stand out in relief at the top of the shaft. The line is taken from an anecdote from Roman history about Cornelia, a wealthy and respected Roman woman who considered her sons, Gaius and Tiberius, her jewels. The statue is meant to personify the state of Ohio by having Cornelia presenting to the nation in time of crisis the state's best and brightest sons to be used in the service of the war effort.
