Order an Image
Visitors to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition crowded to the concessions on the Pay Streak. Here they could enjoy exciting rides, visit a reconstruction of the Streets of Cairo, buy snacks at the Tokio Cafe, and look at Indigenous People of the Philippines in a reconstructed village. The Pay Streak was named after concentrated streaks of gold or other valuable ore.

This photo shows a section of the Pay Streak at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909. The building underneath the balloon was a public "comfort station" (rest room).
