One popular attraction was the Safety Glass exhibit in the Travel and Transportation building. The superiority of Safety Glass was demonstrated by a screen-enclosed tunnel through which visitors were invited to throw baseballs at panels of glass. The ordinary glass would "shatter and scatter," but the ball would "actually bounce back from a piece of safety glass." Everyone who threw a ball at the exhibit received a free Good Luck coin. Here's an example. One side says CARRY THIS COIN AND BE LUCKY, with pictures of a wishbone, a horseshoe, and a four-leaf clover, and, underneath, USE SAFETY GLASS FOR GREATER SAFETY. In the center is the world's fair logo. On the other side, it says SAFETY GLASS SHARPSHOOTER, with a baseball smashing into a pane of glass. Some wear and corrosion as shown.
