Image shows a man with a dog sled and team greeting a lumberjack with caption: "Hello Bill Meet Me on the Pay Streak at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, Seattle USA June 1st - October16th,1909" This postcard represents the iconography of the far northwest, where miner meets logger. Here, a prospector with a dog sled and team greets a lumberjack with caption: "Hello Bill Meet Me on the Pay Streak at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, Seattle USA June 1st - October 16th, 1909." The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition was the first world's fair in Seattle, and the Pay Streak was the Exposition's Midway, and included rides, concessions, sideshows, and entertainment.
