In 1902, business interests in Joplin wanted to promote their city and did so by publishing The City That Jack Built, a photograph booklet that covered Joplin’s business, industry, and the residences that its mineral wealth had built. Quite a while ago, we scanned in our copy of the booklet and made it available on Flickr here. However, we thought it might be fun to present the photographs to you in the form of a video slideshow, linked below. For more information on the photographs featured in the slideshow, check out the Flickr page and select the image to find out the name of the home, business, or industry.
