EQUITABLE LIFE

The story of the nation's and the world's phenomenal population growth and change is depicted in several imposing exhibits. Beneath a giant tabulator which keeps an up-to-the-minute tally of the nation's total population, lights flash on a 45-foot-wide map - the Demograph - to indicate births and deaths as they occur in each state. World population distribution and totals are shown on another map and counter. A two-way grandstand offers a view of the exhibits on one side; the other faces the Pool of Industry with its fountains and nightly displays of fireworks.

The lighted numbers of the Demograph were a statistical projection of the population - Equitable did not receive instantaneous information on every birth and death in the country as many visitors thought. (CD18 Set 94 #22)
Equitable had one of the best locations at the Fair, as the Fountain of the Planets was the locale for many of the more popular pavilions. That's IBM on the left, with the Goodyear blimp passing overhead. (CD15 Set 75 #9)
