Gathered
around the Pool of Industry, 45 pavilions offer spectacles, stage
shows, architectural wonders, and a glittering testimonial to America's
industrial strength. The hundreds of companies represented in
this area, comprising a rough cross section of the nation's economy,
have put on display as wide a range of products as have ever been
assembled for a fair.* |

Coca-Cola.
The visitor
to this exhibit samples five of the most spectacular
places in the world, from an Alpine peak to a tropical forest -
complete with sights, sounds, climate, and aromas. The scenes
are created in an eliptical building two stories high enclosing a large
court. In the center of the court is the Coca-Cola Tower, a
three-sided 120-foot spire containing the world's largest electronic
carillon, with 610 bells. It strikes the hours at the Fair
and is played in concerts by famous carillonneurs.*

Johnson's Wax. This
pavilion, a great gold disk which seems to float 24 feet above the
ground, is supported by its surrounding columns. It houses a
500-seat theater in which a documentary movie dramatizes the theme of
brotherhood. An exhibition at ground level offers a climbing
contraption for the entertainment of children, a home care information
center and a shoeshine center that provides free shines. |
