The Original Ferris Wheel At the Columbia Expositi Postcard
Out of the many firsts unvieled at Chicago’s 1893 Columbia Exposition the biggest of them all saved the fair from financial ruin. That was George Washington Gale Ferris Jr.”s massive wheel that bore his name. The Ferris Wheel stood 264 feet high and could hold more than TWO THOUSAND people at one time. The price was fifty cents a ride which was twice what it cost to enter the fair itself. It turned out to be extremely popular saving the fairs financial bacon. Then going on to have a ten year run as an attraction on Chicago’s north side before ending up in St. Louis for the 1904 world’s fair. This is part of our ChiTownViews series of postcards featuring people, places and events from Chicago’s history. On our ChiTownView YouTube station we have a video slideshow of the fair as well as links to maps of the exposition. http://youtu.be/tJROOVf85Fc

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.
