The unfolded pamphlet is seen in Ferris's hands and is recognizable by the printed colors and layout as the sunlight hits it just right.

The center of the unfolded image shows the Sears Tower along with further details also shared by Ferris in the film:

YOU ARE HERE ... on the 103rd floor, "1,353 feet" above ground.


The city, and really anything, is peaceful from that height.

The opposite side of the Skydeck pamphlet offers a variety of facts, figures and photos related to the building.
