Eighty-one minutes by electric train separated Chicago's Randolph Station from the Indiana dunes. That was the pitch of this 1927 poster, commissioned by the South Shore Line to promote its service from downtown Chicago to the dunes region. Leslie Ragan also designed posters for the New York Central Railroad.
On the poster
beach-goers lounge on the sand at Indiana Dunes State Park under a yellow sky streaked with orange and peach clouds. Families spread along the Lake Michigan shore, with green dune vegetation and a few small lakeside buildings behind them.
