Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 88. The Pay Streak. "Where everything that is amusing, grotesque, hilarious, foolish, novel and absurd is foisted and intoned, where all that ingenuity can devise, skill project or daring accomplish is brought for the diversion of a summer's day."- Richard Barry (Text from the back of the postcard)

Postcard by Robert A. Reid. Photo by Frank Nowell.

This is from the collection of my great grandfather Sidney Duff. He worked for an electrical company in Seattle in 1908 and 1909, working on the exposition's power and lighting. We have a large set of unstamped postcards of the fair in pristine condition. Did these photos show his work?

I've posted these because they don't seem to be in the collection of the University of Washington.

A bit more explanation... this was part of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, a world's fair held in Seattle in 1909. It was on the grounds of the University of Washington campus, designed for the occasion by John C. Olmsted.
