"and Program for the Pageant 'WHEELS a-ROLLING'. 2nd Great Year, price 35c."
This is an 8-1/4" x 10-3/4" staple bound brochure, 16 (unnumbered) inner pages serving both as a program for the Pageant (apparently a 'centerpiece attraction' show intended to mark certain important moments in transportation history up until then?) as well as promoting other attractions and events featured at the Fair, most of which were obviously railroad related. Sponsors and 'important people' associated with the Fair are listed inside the front cover, (pic 3) while credits for actors and personnel of the Pageant are inside the back cover. Lots of either line drawings or photographs are scattered throughout, nearly all in black and white though one or two look to have been slightly 'colorized' along with page borders and backgrounds, but only the front cover is printed in full color. (pic 1, pic 2 is the back cover)
