Ferris wheel saved for St Louis exposition move
The Inter Ocean reports the famous Ferris wheel is rescued from the junk heap and will be moved to the St. Louis exposition. Dismantling work continues on the North Side by a local wrecking firm. The concession lets the firm keep the first 100000 of receipts at the fairgrounds, with removal and setup costing about 100000. After that, one third of profits go to wheel owners and two thirds to the exposition treasury. The wheel’s junk value is about 30000, yet removal costs reduce gains. ownership traces back to repeated sale talks after the World’s Fair.
