The attendance at the Exposition was over 200,000 people for Independence Day, but dropped drastically within the next few days. Burnham had to raise attendance if bankers were going to be satisfied enough not to take over the Exposition and ruin it.

Burnham watched as more businesses failed and wondered how he was going to get the necessary number of people to attend to keep the Exposition under his control
