Click on the first image to read an article from the Gilbert News about this New Haven Show
Between
May 20th and May 24th, 1952, an open house was held at the Goffe
Street Armory in New Haven, Connecticut. The A.C. Gilbert Co.
was a prominent participant in this show and prepared a display.
They wrote about the show in their employee newsletter, The Gilbert
News, in the article shown at the left. This round display had
been used before at the Eastern States Exposition, held yearly in
Springfield, Massachusetts as a combined state fair for the New England states.
Photos of this display can also be seen in the section on the
Eastern States Exposition,
along with other Gilbert displays that appeared there from 1948 to
1963. Click on the image at the near left or on the button
