June 14, 1909: Pullman Day at Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition in Seattle


Story from June 15, 1909, Pullman Herald about Pullman Day at A.Y.P.:






















According to Wikipedia, the Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition, a world's fair held in Seattle in 1909, publicized the development of the Pacific Northwest. “It was originally planned for 1907, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush, but the organizers found out about the Jamestown Exposition being held that year, and rescheduled. The fairgrounds became the campus of the University of Washington."
