"in the 1860s, Chicago's pork and beef industry represented the first global industry"

Huh? This must mean Chicago's first global industry; fur, slaves, sugar, coffee, gold, spices, all this things were being exchanged around the world long before midwest meat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.162.169 (talk) 05:34, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why doesn't this list something as basic as per capita income/GDP? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.42.107 (talk) 02:45, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Everything from "Industrialization" down contains markers in square brackets, such as [14]. These numbers do not relate to anything in the reference list. For this reason I suspect that it has been copied from elsewhere, but haven't been able to locate the source: Noyster (talk), 12:15, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems a little odd that the article as it now stands makes no mention of the city's stockyards and meat industry, which were very famous in the early 20th century (Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle"). AnonMoos (talk) 02:14, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
