Richard Giles submitted these links in response to Jerry Fochtman query about U.s. treasury Department exhibits at the 1893 Columbian Exposition. Thanks.
-Editor
A digitized version of Official catalog of 1893 Columbian Exposition:
The World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893
(books.google.com/books?id=It2xI5M9uQAC)
I only found a paragraph or so about the Treasury exhibits (o p478), but it's an interesting read regardless.
