Moving to Cleveland in 1927, where her brother Roger White was following in their father's footsteps as an inventor and industrialist, she was hired to do promotional studies of the Terminal Tower, that city's tallest building, the transportation hub and anchor to Public Square.As Cleveland was both an industrial city and a publishing center in those days, Bourke-White's work was soon being purchased for ads in magazines and newspapers there and across the United States.She worked for Pan American Airlines, Goodyear Tire & Rubber in nearby Akron, Aluminum Company of America, Owens-Illinois Glass, NBC and other corporations.
In 1929, she was invited to become the star photographer for the new Luce publication, Fortune, a pricey (for the time) business magazine, that sold for $1.
