Alfred Trabor Goshorn helped establish the expositions. He was the president of a paint manufacturing business. Over time, the expositions included displays from businesses across the Midwest and the rest of the United States. Artists displayed their works; musicians performed; and inventors and other businessmen displayed their wares. The Cincinnati Industrial Expositions illustrated Cincinnati's important contributions to culture and technology during the late 1800s
