The 1910 Chicago Electrical Show was billed as the most elaborate exposition ever held, with “everything that’s new in light, heat and power for the home, office, store, factory and farm on display.” It was advertised as a “Veritable Fairyland of Electrical Wonders” with $40,000 spent on decorations (worth $950,000 today). Displays included a Wright airplane exhibited by the U.S. Government, wireless telegraphy, and telephony. Read more Chicago history in Tazia and Gemma (see NOVELS).
