An interesting piece of trivia
"The statue of Ceres on top of the Chicago Board of Trade Building has no face. The powers that be at the CBOT at the time had determined that no building would ever be taller than the CBOT building, so it was not necessary to put a face on Ceres. No one would ever be close enough to see her face, these short-sighted men thought."
