Just as the 1871 fire drew architects and engineers to Chicago to rebuild the city, so too the planning of the 1933-34 Century of Progress exposition attracted designers. Eager to work with the many companies that would build displays, Jean Otis Reinecke (1909-1987) and James Barnes (1908-1986) came from St. Louis to Chicago in 1930 to set up a branch office for their employer, General Displays, Inc. While Reinecke was the artist, Barnes was the salesman.
