Title	Demonstration in Commerce Pavilion
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00156
Description	Interiors, Fashion, and Commerce Pavilion of the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). “Under one roof in the southeast corner of the Fairgrounds are the Interiors Pavilion, the Fashion Pavilion and the Commerce Pavilion… Reflecting new design trends in home furnishings materials, [the Interiors Pavilion] includes 32 display booths co-sponsored by the American Institute of Interior Designers and its Resource Council… [The Fashion Pavilion] — through (1) a fashion show area and (2) an exhibit area — tries to show why Americans are often called the best dressed people in the world. The fashion show, as well as the 4,600-gallon Revlon, Inc. fountain of perfume, changes each month with the advancing season. Vogue Magazine sponsors the show… Most of the exhibits of [the Commerce Pavilion] are keyed to the contributions their sponsors are making toward the world of tomorrow. But also included are two land development displays, a preview of another world's fair and exhibits designed to promote understanding and the mutual exchange of ideas by all people.” (Official press book: Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Century 21 Exposition, 1962, pp. 44-45.)
