AMERICAN EXPRESS

At the entrance of this pavilion, a million dollars' worth of real currency from many nations "grows" on a money tree; inside, the official scale model of the World's Fair is on exhibit. The pavilion also offers various services including foreign exchange, check cashing, the sale of American Express travelers cheques and information on all aspects of the Fair.

A group of tourists pass beneath the Money Tree. Just past that is a large mural showing American Express locations around the world. (CD18 Set 94 #15)
Just like a real tree, this one lost its leaves during the winter. When the Fair was closed between seasons the million dollars was removed for safekeeping. It was designed by Samuel E. Gallo, with Wayman C. Wing serving as the consulting engineer. (CD2 Set 11 #15)
