Pass for Access to the Pier Movable Sidewalk at the Worlds Columbian Exposition. Virtually As New. 60 mm x 100 mm. Printed, full tint form in green on light brown card. Serial number 195, in red, at lower left. Engraved signature of J.L. Silsbee at lower right. Pass filled in by hand to "Prof. F.W. Putnam. Chief / Dept. of Ethnology/ W.C.E." Autograph countersignature on the back of R. McC. Smith, the Traffic Manager, which validated this pass. The movable sidewalk operated between the pier and nearest entrance gates. It operated in two speeds, one at 3 MPH, the other at 6 MPH. Individual tickets for use were five cents. Sales of single ride tickets are not difficult to find online. This form is apparently very rare, as we have not been able to find another.
