Efforts were made to get the Post Office to issue a set of stamps to "promote" the event, as had been done for the Columbian, Trans-Mississippi, Pan-American, Louisiana Purchase and Jamestown expositions that had preceded it. After some badgering, the Postmaster agreed to issue one stamp to honor the event.
