1939 World's Fair Fascination

Since I discovered all these booklets and advertising items that Madeline saved and collected from the 39 World's Fair, I have become almost obsessed with it and have been doing some research to learn more.  I came across this wonderful and informative article and wanted to share with you.  Thankfully the author, Bob Brooke, has given me permission to do so.  Please take a minute and check out his website and blog.  You will find it well worth your time.  His website is: http://www.theantiquesalmanac.com/ and his blog:  http://antiquesqa.blogspot.com/. 


Please click on the post title to read Bob's article or use the following link:  http://www.theantiquesalmanac.com/worldsfairsouvenirs.htm.

I welcome anyone's knowledge on this subject or on any items shown in Madeline's Memories.
