Fall Festivals

1900  FALL  FESTIVAL

   1900 was the year of the first Fall Festival and Industrial Exposition, it continued until 1923.

Not a postcard

Parade at Government Sq.

1901 FALL  FESTIVAL

   I believe this is the complete set but, of course, I probably will never know for sure.

1901  FALL  FESTIVAL  SOUVENIR  BOOK

   This souvenir book was put out by the Cincinnati Traveling Salesmen's Association Incorporated. The members of this association were all traveling salesmen for practically every business in the Cincinnati area. Notice that the cover has the title of the book misspelled (traveling). As you can see in the 2nd image they were in the original 1900 festival floral parade and they won first prize. In 1900, their first year, they called themselves The Southern Traveling Salesmen's Association. The book contains images from the 1900 floral parade plus many advertisements that I will be adding. Why some of the "floats" were called Tallyhos, I have no idea.

1923  FALL  FESTIVAL

   The first image above is very large and not a postcard. It is a very nice bird's-eye-view of this festival. The next two postcards are of the Tower of Jewels.
