World's Fair Picture Book by Tichnor

A Sixty-four page, 6 3/4" x 9 3/4" book of Fair photographs printed by Tichnor Brothers.

The contents of this soft-cover book have not been included since they would duplicate images already on the site and the quality of the images, at least in this copy of the book, are rather poor.

World's Fair Odds & Ends


Started on November 1, 2011, this section is for the unique items & stories that are submitted but have no particular area of the site to go.

 

Thanks to the help from others, these pages will allow those who are interested in the Fair to see things they might otherwise see.

I hope you enjoy them.


Washington High School Band Letter


Coal Breaker

From Doug Chapman, Sioux Falls, SD.

"Washington HIgh was the first public high school in Sioux Falls, SD. It was founded as Central high in the 1890s, but by 1908 was Washington High (my grandfather graduated in '09 and my grandmother in '12), my mother graduated in 1935 and I in 1964. Until 1962 it was the only high school in the city. My graduating class was just under 1000 seniors!"
