Folding map. Cover has some wear soiling tears and chips. Corners of some pages creased. A Century of Progress International Exposition was a World's Fair registered under the Bureau International des Expositions BIE which was held in Chicago as The Chicago World's Fair from 1933 to 1934 to celebrate the city's centennial. The theme of the fair was technological innovation. The fair's motto was "Science Finds Industry Applies Man Adapts". Its architectural symbol was the Sky Ride a transporter bridge perpendicular to the shore on which one could ride from one side of the fair to the other. One description of the fair noted that the world "then still mired in the malaise of the Great Depression could glimpse a happier not-too-distant future all driven by innovation in science and technology." Visitors saw the latest wonders in rail travel automobiles architecture and robots. The fair buildings were multi-colored to create a "Rainbow City" as opposed to the "White City" of the World's Columbian Exposition. The buildings generally followed Moderne architecture in contrast to the neoclassical themes used at the 1893 fair. One famous feature of the fair were the performances of fan dancer Sally Rand. Other popular exhibits were the various auto manufacturers the Midway filled with nightclubs such as the Old Morocco where future stars Judy Garland The Cook Family Singers and The Andrews Sisters performed and a recreation of important scenes from Chicago's history. One interesting and enduring exhibit was the 1933 Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition that demonstrated modern home convenience and creative practical new building materials and techniques with twelve model homes sponsored by several corporations affiliated with home decor and construction.
