Supplemental Information:
Their exhibit is not listed in
Liberal Arts Building
under the lithography section in “The Official Directory” or “Official Catalog” of exhibitors since their space was located and operating in the separate
Puck Building
. “The Official Directory” does have a listing describing the
Puck Building
(shown). The “World’s Fair Puck” color magazines issued during the Fair are a treasured collectible! The mischievous Puck character was the iconic picture of humor and satire, sort of like “Saturday Night Live” in print before television!
