Galleries > World's Fairs and Expositions > Fiberglas Introduced

Fiberglas was first introduced at the 1939-1940 World's Fair in New York. This fair was one of the most important held given its time frame. It also featured spectacular commercial exhibits designed to woo the American consumer. Of course no one knew at the time that Pearl Harbor would be attacked, but the winds of war were certainly blowing in Europe. Submitted by Lauren Roberts.
