Women in tubes

[BangZoom]

 

Many years ago I traded some movie posters for a collection of hundreds of photos taken in 1939 and 1940 at San Francisco's Golden Gate International Exposition.

 

The photographs were taken by someone who worked at the fair and were shot over the course of the fair's run.

 

Here are a few snapshots of one of the attractions that would have caught my eye had I been walking down the midway.

You have to buy a ticket to the show to find out.

I think this was an exhibit to display clothing and fabric made from synthetic materials like nylon which was first used in 1938 in nylon-bristled toothbrushes and later in nylon stockings.

Thanks for the info.

 

Although, you have now dashed my hope that it was a come-on for The Wonderful World of Pulp Magazines exhibit.

I was waiting for this one too. I have always wondered what the story was like.

It's a great story, and easy enough to locate a reprint! :-)

I was worried by the thread title for a second.

It's the title story in a collection of Wally Wood EC work. It's pretty cool, although the shocking ending probably hasn't shocked anyone in 60 years. Artwork is fantastic.
