The Worlds Fair Chicago 1933

This is the way a Cowboy said “I like Coca Cola”. Although he did like a little something extra in it….I believe the stuff started with a W….. Jack Wright’s popularity led the way for him to do a substantial amount of advertisement for a lot of different products….. and the money was good.

My friend inherited a crystal ball that her family acquired from the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair circus. My friend wants to donate it to the Chicago History Museum, but I have to resurrect the provenance of the ball before I can do that.
All she remembers is that there was a newspaper article in 1933 or 1934 in the Chicago Tribune or the Chicago Times about the fortune teller with a picture of the ball (she’s 80+ years old) and that the fortune teller’s name was something like Dick Balinsky or Belinsky. I can’t find any details that specific on web circus sites and am still trying to find the newspaper article on Newspapers.com.
If you have any information about this fortune teller, it would greatly help my search.
