Just how many signs can you cram onto one building? A lot, the answer is a lot. Considering how windy it can get there, I can see these things flying off the building like sails. Its probably the reason we don't have signs like that today.
As a side note none of the buildings exists today, except maybe for that one at the end, Carson Pirie. I chose three colors for the trolley's because they were all different makes, and they seem to be towing each other. Open side trolley's all seem to have colorful paint jobs.
Its incredible to see how many people there are in this image, and every single lady was wearing a giant hat.
