In 1889, a group of investors, headed by Turlington W. Harvey, formed the Harvey Land Association with the goal of creating an industrial suburb in Thornton Township. Greatly influenced by the teachings of evangelist Dwight L. Moody, Harvey's investment group envisioned their town as both Christian and free of the evils of alcohol. To achieve that end, it recruited potential residents with advertising like this booklet that highlighted the town of Harvey's distinctive goals.
