\"Rather than turnlongingly to the past, the 1933-1934 Century of Progress Exposition looked tothe future. It was the second world’s fair hosted by Chicago. The site of thefair wasNortherly Island, an artificial stretch of land that is actuallya peninsula, not an island. Despite its name, the fair was less a retelling ofChicago’s first 100 years and more a showcase for modern living, consumerismand entertainment. All of this was driven by the need to stimulate spendingduring the Great Depression. There were nearly two dozen corporate pavilions atthe exposition pushing the latest gizmos and gadgets for home and car—a bigincrease from the nine corporate pavilions at Chicago’s 1893 World\'s Fair.\"
