Artifact Overview
World's fairs and expositions in many ways are small cities. Buildings and property need to be protected from fire and vandalism and visitors need to feel secure. Fair planners hire police, firemen and security personnel to make the fairgrounds safe for everyone. This badge was awarded to Exposition Guards "For Service" at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco.
