Lobby: A Century of Progress
International Exposition - 1933/34
 A Century of Progress
World's Fair was held to commemorate the
100th anniversary of the incorporation of the
City of Chicago. Its theme was to demonstrate
the nature and significance of scientific
discoveries, the methods of achieving them, and
the changes which their application has played
in industry and in living conditions. The
World's Fair drew over 39,000,000 visitors (so
successful it was
repeated in 1934) and for the first time in
American history an International fair paid for
itself.Select from the
