Description:Excerpt from The Philistine, Vol. 30: December World's fair, the discoveries of Columbus; the St. Louis Exposition, the Louisiana Purchase; the Portland Fair, the Lewis and Clark Expedition; the Jamestown Exposition, the settlement at Jamestown; but the Seattle Exposition was not based on any historical event. There were three unique features about the Seattle show that are worthy of record. First, it is the only exposition among those just named that did not receive Government aid. Second, it was the first and only great exposition ever held where no beer, wine or other intoxicants were sold. Third, it is the only exposition that made money for its stockholders. The fair was situated on the grounds of the University of Washington, whose charter especially provides that no intoxicants shall be sold within a two-mile limit. The exposition folks were offered a bonus of two hundred thousand dollars for the beer privileges, and also the use of a site elsewhere, but with the temperance idea in mind they declined.
