1 Among the state governors attending the Fair was William McKinley, the governor of Ohio and future president. On September 6, 1901, near the start of his second term, President McKinley visited the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, where he was shot by an assassin. McKinley died of his wounds on September 14, and his vice president Theodore Roosevelt assumed the office of president.
2 Completed in 1892 to welcome guests to the Fair, the Lexington Hotel later acquired notoriety as the headquarters of Al Capone, who kept a suite on the fifth floor and registered as George Phillips. In 1931, Capone was arrested for tax evasion at the hotel by Eliot Ness and his fellow Treasury agents.
3 All of the American watch companies have closed. Waterbury Watch went into receivership in 1898 and re-emerged briefly as the New England Watch Company. Ansonia began to slide after World War 1 and in 1929, went into receivership. That year the Ansonia Clock Company was sold to the Soviet Union. The Brookly
n factory was dismantled and the machinery shipped to Moscow to make alarm clocks and wall clocks for the Communists. The Waltham Watch Company closed in 1957, and Elgin Watch in 1964.
4 The 1893 Tiffany exhibit was reassembled in 2006 at the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, Florida (Blades & Loring 2006). The items for the Palm Beach exhibit were borrowed from private collectors and museums. These include the Smithsonian Institution, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The Tiffany name is now associated more with Charles’s second son, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), who trained to be a painter, but whose fascination with color took him in a different direction. Using opalescent glass, Louis created the lustrous stained glass windows and lamps that will be forever associated with the Tiffany name.
5 The introduction of high-speed embroidery machinery after 1887 had a devastating effect on the American silk towns, with factories closing and skilled workers losing their jobs. Matters came to a head in 1913 when the remaining silk workers of Paterson went on strike calling for shorter hours, job security, and higher pay. Silk workers in Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut joined their New Jersey comrades. The silk strike lasted six months but the workers lost the fight as the manufacturers abandoned the city and Paterson’s proud silk industry came to an end.
6 The year of the Fair was also the birth year of Huey Pierce Long of Louisiana (1893–1935). His first job at age 17 was with N.K. Fairbank selling Cottolene. Here he learned the power of advertising and product promotion. At one of the Cottolene baking demonstrations he met Rose McConnell, a home economics teacher, whom he married in 1913. Huey Long left N.K. Fairbank and went on to become one of the most contentious politicians in America. He was elected governor and later represented Louisiana in the U.S. Senate. Accused of corruption and dictatorial tendencies, he made many enemies. In 1935, he was preparing to run against Franklin D. Roosevelt for president when, in July of that year, he was shot to death in the capitol building at Baton Rouge.
