Centennial Exposition Office Becomes Busy Printing Hub
In the October effort to promote the Centennial Exposition, a large fourth floor workroom was fitted with desks, shelves, and typewriters. Twenty five female staff, six men, and extensive contracts for lithographic materials fueled a post office like operation with daily mail and express shipments averaging 1200 dollars in postage weekly. A separate storage and workshop area handled incoming goods, while reporters and clerks prepared advertising copy and coordinated with editors nationwide.

Emperor Fritz of Germany and American engineer links
An aged reminiscence details Major Gwynn of Cincinnati who visited Berlin with his family in the 1840s and befriended Prince Fritz, later Emperor William II. It recalls Fritz’s democratic manners, a tutor's flogging, German loyalty to the popular heir, and Gwynn’s four-year stay in Berlin with frequent visits from the crown prince, who later led Austro-Prussian era battles and Paris siege memories. The piece also mentions Cincinnati Centennial chatter and local observatories.
