Background Information:
A Century of Progress International Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair, was a World's Fair held in the city of Chicago, Illinois, United States, from 1933 to 1934.

Originally intended to commemorate Chicago's past, the Century of Progress Exposition came to symbolize hope for Chicago's and America's future during the Great Depression.

This was the second world's fair that Chicago had hosted, and by the time it closed, it had been visited by nearly 40 million fairgoers.
