Monolith must be square, so platform would be square too. 2' deep cabinet + 3'8-7/16" aisle all around makes it about 18' 9-57/64"' square.

I'm adjusting my overall height estimate to 18'9-57/64"... approximately.

Dear Rick,
My apologies for taking so long to get back to you.
I've finally found time to go through my files and pull out the very small amount of information that I was able to find on the Savage Arms Co.

There was a large exhibit on the history of the modern breech loading gun. This exhibit, assembled by The United States Cartridge Company, was located in the Palace of Forestry, Fish and Game.

The Savage Arms Company applied for exhibit space with the Fish and Game department. Because so many requests were received, exhibits were located in other buildings within the fair grounds. The Savage Arms Company exhibit was located in the Manufacturer's Palace. Their display of rifles and ammunition won a silver medal in the category of Group 120 -- Hunting Equipment.

When I did this research, I did not locate any photos. Part of the problem in researching anything to do with the fair is that very little of the material is cataloged. This means that you go through boxes and boxes of papers with no idea, or very little idea, what is in each box. Photographs represent the same problem.

This is compounded by the fact that when later fair organizers contacted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company regarding how they did certain things in organizing the 1904 fair, they didn't just write a letter in response. They boxed up paperwork and sent it to the new organization. This means that there may be more information out there somewhere but this is all that I was able to find.

My apologies for keeping you waiting so long for so very little.

Sincerely,
SueBE
