Important historic black and white group photograph documenting the American Railway Express Co. Meeting of District Accountants, held by the Chicago Regional Accounting Department on May 25, 1922, as identified by the original caption affixed to the image. The photograph captures a formal assembly of executives and staff in period business attire, offering strong documentary value tied to early 20th century American commerce, transportation history, railroad and express services, and corporate America. Presented in its original period frame, this piece is highly appealing to collectors of railroadiana, corporate history, Chicago history, early photography, and archival Americana.
