World's Fair Notes on Iowa Building and Exhibits
Iowa's State Building nears completion at the World’s Fair. Swiss Day and grand displays from France, Paris municipal exhibits, and Mexican government approval mark a massive expo. Machinery Palace towers reach 265 feet, and many pavilions including Forestry, Agriculture, and Mines advance. A 100,000 prize aerial contest, a Peace monument, and a huge organ and orchestra program shape a bustling exposition.
