Detailed
Description		    Catalog for the Jewish Palestine Pavillion in the 1939 New York World's Fair, with period ads of sponsors and numerous period black and white pictures of Erez Israel.

The 1939 New York World's Fair suffered from unfortunate timing and the investors lost two-thirds of their investment. Before the war broke out full-fledged, however, the fair attracted large crows to Flushing Meadow Park in Queens.
