Chicago World's Fair 1933 - 1934 ~ A Century of Progress
These postcards are from my father Anthony J. Kostelnicek's collection of 1933 - 1934 Chicago World's Fair memorabilia. He lived in Chicago and sent these cards to himself from the fair during specific fair anniversaries and events. The postage stamps were canceled on the date of the evemt. Many of the cards have a typewriter written description of the event on the their face. He used an ancient Remmington typewriter with worn-out letter stamps that I still have today. Most of these cards are unusual in that the postage stamp and postal cache are on the front rather than back of the card. It was my father's delight to get the postmaster to affix and cancel the stamp on the card's face for philatelic uniqueness.
Captions, shown below each image, were copied from the card's backside upper left corner. The card title, shown above each image, gives the postmark date and event description. Mouse-over text gives the series number (when available) in a set of card's. In the rare event that the postage stamp is on the reverse, the card back is seen during mouse-over. Click on a card to download a 5-times larger (5 1/2" x 3 1/2" - 300 dpi) image. The Chicago Postcard Museum has myriad information about Century of Progress postcards.
The last card is a "fold-out" of Fort Dearborn. You can download both sides of it and make your owy 3-D diarama of the Fort. Click here to go directly to the fold-out.

The Life insurance Exhibit at a Century of Progress shows how every man and woman, boy and girl, benefits -- directly or indirectly -- through life insurance. Sixty-five million policyholders own life insurance contracts calling for the payment of more than $100,000,000,000 in benefits. Payments to policyholders and beneficiaries last year exceeded $20,000,000,000 which, with subsequent premiums, assure future payments.
The Exhibit shows by electrical and sound effects, and by interesting mechanical action in a miniature community, how these funds are put to work to serve countless needs of the people. Some of the funds -- invested in high grade public utility and railroad bonds or other obligations -- help supply electricity,. gas, telephone, and transportation services. Other funds -- loaned to national, state, and local governments -- help build streets,highways,bridges, schools, waterworks. Still other funds -- secured by choice first mortgages -- go to finance homes, other types of buildings, farms.
these funds are invested to secure the highest return consistent with safety, and thus, while serving the community, serve policyholders by lowering the cost of their life insurance through the interest earnings.
