Circa 1950's Midway of the N.J. State Fair AKA "The Interstate Fair"

This is an excellent photo from "Pro Photo Service," an organization which I am unfamiliar with. However, the photographer had an expert eye for composition as can be seen in the photo of the midway at the late and much lamented New Jersey State Fair. I have a HUGE collection of clippings relating to the fair. I also have an onscreen "ASTOUND!" presentation dedicated to that wonderful Hamilton Township venue dating back to the 1880's. The above photo is a 150 dot per inch scan. I also scanned it in 400 dpi, and when viewed using the "actual pixels" feature, you feel like you are walking amid the crowd!
