    Extractions: One of the greatest of the World's Fairs of the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries was held in St. Louis in 1904. The Fair's organizers intended the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, as it was also called, to be educational. David Francis, president of the Fair, noted, "So thoroughly does it represent the world's civilization that if all man's other works were by some unspeakable catastrophe, blotted out, the records here established by the assembled nations would offer all necessary standards for the rebuilding of our entire civilization." Taking place just six years after the US acquired a colonial empire at the end of the Spanish-American War, the Fair's centerpiece was the Philippine Reservation, visited by nearly all of the 19 million people who attended the Fair. Philippine Scouts (NARA) The US government sponsored the Reservation in hopes of justifying its decision to keep the Philippines in a colonial relationship. Government officials wanted to show that, unlike other colonial powers, the US was not exploiting its colonies but rather selflessly bringing civilization and progress to them. By showing that the Filipinos were not yet ready for independence but would make rapid progress under American rule, the government hoped to quiet the many critics of US imperialism.

    http://www.leatheroticausa.com/fairs.htm
    
    Extractions: Remnants of the world's most beautiful and spectacular events I t all began in London, England, in 1851, with the Crystal Palace, a stunning exposition of England's technological and artistic accomplishments housed in a beautiful glass structure. Hoping to emulate that success, architects and civic boosters in Philadelphia, Paris, Chicago, Buffalo and St. Louis conceived and built even more grandiose fairs with gleaming buildings, ornate gardens, breathtaking panoramas and gaudy midway attractions. M ost of the structures erected for the great expositions of the late 19th and early 20th century stand only in images captured by fairgoers and professional photographers. Constructed of relatively inexpensive temporary materials including plaster and straw, nearly all were razed within months of the closure of each fair. A few notable exceptions include the Eiffel tower, Philadelphia's Memorial Hall, and the St. Louis Museum of Art. O ne can imagine the impact that these stunning sights must have had on the millions of visitors who traveled great distances from their rustic homes. Fortunately, many purchased a wide variety of souvenirs and memorabilia and tucked them away for posterity. Collectors like myself are devoted to locating and preserving these items. This page will give you a glimpse into early World's Fairs, and give me the opportunity to brag about my collection. Enjoy!

    Extractions: Return to Hereford Headquarters The Hereford breed of beef cattle was established near Hereford, county of Herefordshire, England, nearly 300 years ago as a product of necessity. Thrifty, enterprising British farmers were seeing the need to produce beef for the expanding food market created by Britain's industrial revolution. To successfully meet this growing demand, these early-day cattlemen needed cattle which could efficiently convert native grasses to beef, and do it at a profit. No breed at that time could fill that need, so the farmers of Herefordshire developed and founded the breed that logically became known as Herefords. These early Hereford breeders molded their cattle with the goals of high beef yields and efficient production. They so solidly fixed these traits that they remain today as outstanding characteristics of the breed. Cattle with the trade-mark white faces and distinctive red bodies are instantly recognized world-wide as a time-tested, reliable source of profitable beef cattle genetics.

    Extractions: Centennial Exposition International Cotton Exposition Exposition Universelle Internationale Jamaica Exposition ... Panama California Exposition W orld's fairs and expositions held in the United States and abroad in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries celebrated the past while introducing visions of the future. Both the past and the future were highly idealized, almost utopian. The World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893 presented what Catholic World proclaimed was a "city of realized dreams." Discussing the same exposition, Frederick Douglass stated that "the spirit of American caste made itself conspicuously felt against the educated American negro, and to this extent, the Exposition was made simply an American Exposition and that in one of America's most illiberal features." Conflicts over representation at the fairs whose dreams were realized were common but changes were made slowly if at all in an era when Jim Crow segregation laws were being established throughout the South, women did not have the right to vote, and the American empire was extended from the Caribbean to Asia. Displays of Filipinos as "primitive peoples" were among the most popular attractions at later fairs. During Philippine Day activities at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915, Philippine Resident Commissioner Manuel L. Quezon referred to the lasting effect of those displays: "I have traveled to every part of the United States and I have been saddened to learn how many misapprehensions exist here as to the real conditions in the Philippine Islands; due, probably as much as anything else, to the exhibition of the native Igorote village at the St. Louis Exposition ten years ago."
