Excerpt from The Exposition in a Nutshell: A Complete Guide, Enabling Visitors to More Readily See and Appreciate the Great Inter-State Exposition of Chicago
If it were not for the very great amount of interest and encouragement manifested by all classes of citizens, we might be justified in saying that this enterprise grew out of the efforts of the Woolen Manufacturers' Association to establish a permanent annual exposition of textile fabrics in the west, and at the head of which movement was Mr. Geo. S. Bowen of Chicago. But as the great inter-state Exposition is the child of the pluck and energy of Chicago, we can only say that the exposition of textile fabrics was a forerunner.
A meeting of business men was summoned under the follow ing call, issued at the suggestion of Mr. Geo. S. Bowen'

Excerpt from The Exposition in a Nutshell: A Complete Guide, Enabling Visitors to More Readily See and Appreciate the Great Inter-State Exposition of Chicago
This book shall be a history of the Exposition from its A inception. It shall tell of the enterprise in all its stages of progression. It shall tell of the men who undertook, and carried to rapid completion, such an imposing exponent of the indefatigability of the business people of Chicago. It shall tell how a city of ashes became a city of commercial palaces in a short year and a half. It shall tell the stranger about the principal business interests of Chicago. It shall tell of the marvelous rise of the Exposition building ; how the sun came up one morning in the middle of June, to find a half dozen weird-looking pile-drivers rearing their ponderous heads on the barrenness of lake Front Park ; how the middle of August saw the unmistakable outline of a gigantic palace of industry, such as had never before been seen in this country; and how the middle of September saw the work completed.
This book will go through the Exposition hand in hand with the visitor and point out and explain.
