Letter from Bill Arps on the Worlds Fair and family life
The writer recalls a opening day at the Athinta Fair and the Exposition grand tour with his wife and eleven children. He describes exhibits at the Smithsonian and Midway, the Costa Rica Landing, and memories of the fair, dining at Durand's, and returns home tired but happy. He also notes the death of Maurice Tore, a real estate agent, and recounts Maurice Dore's reputed handling of Bank of California funds, praising Dore's honesty. The piece closes with a medical testimonial for Chamberlain's Pain Balm from local readers.
