Same as Catalog # 515287. Exposition: 60 Nations Join in New York Trade Fair. In New Work, 60 nations join in the first United States World Trade Fair, a vast international exposition that showcases industrial goods, crafts, and agricultural products from all over the globe, and attracts record throngs to the Coliseum. Exterior, flags of many nations over a sign reading "United States World Trade..." New York dignitaries (not named - perhaps Mayor Vincent Impellitteri? and Senator Jacob Javits?) cut a large loaf of bread (like a ribbon-cutting ceremony, I guess). VS trade fair, well-dressed white people looking at exhibits. Various shots of signs from participating nations (Hong Kong, Canada, Great Britain, etc.).
