Sinossi
Excerpt from Fair Management: The Story of a Century of Progress Exposition; A Guide for Future Fairs
And so through the halls of future times there will ring the gay voices of crowds seeking that which is new, and, since human nature changes but little, that which is old. There were skeptics in 1930 who felt that the day of fairs was over. They reasoned that the world had become sophisticated and blasé - through the printed word and the radio, people had heard all worth hearing, and with the ease of travel made possible by the automobile, they had seen all worth seeing. The doubters proclaimed that the day of the hick was gone forever, and with him the reason for a fair. That they were wrong was amply attested by the record breaking crowds which have attended fairs since.
There will be fairs in the future, and their promoters and administrators will be faced with the same problems that have baffled their predecessors, for majorfairs are not going concerns - each one is born anew. The failures and successes, the pitfalls and fortuitous events of A Century of Progress are told in this book. May it serve as a lamp of experience.
