This is sheet music from 1924, a song promoting Des Plaines. It was written by a member of the Des Plaines Building & Loan Association and set to a William James Kirkpatrick Hymn. It looks like it was promotional material for Walter L. Plew's Des Plaines Gardens subdivision (Between Algonquin, Thacker, Jeanette, and Webster). It's cheesy, outdated, and fun. Someone needs to record a video of themselves playing & singing this and upload it. As a bonus, the music contains a fact sheet about what was so great about living in Des Plaines in 1924 as well as rare photos.
