Two years later, he started manufacturing his own line of presses under the name Babcock Printing Press Manufacturing Company, of New London, Connecticut. This company was still operating in the mid 1930's." [Press Gallery, on-line column]. The World's Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago World's Fair) was a world's fair held in Chicago IL from 5 May to 31 October in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492. Among the other attractions at the fair, several products that are well-known today were introduced. These products included Juicy Fruit gum, Cream of Wheat, Cracker Jacks, Shredded Wheat cereal, and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, among many others. [Wiki].
