Soon Dayton was bursting with ballyhoo. Local stores sold bales of cotton apes and bundles of buttons proclaiming "Your Old Man's a Monkey." Robinson's drugstore featured a "Monkey Fizz." The town's only hostelry, the Hotel Aqua, raised its rates to $8 a 'day, and soapboxes sprouted on every corner. Chicago's radio station WGN set up the first nationwide radio hookup to cover the trial in Dayton's bell-towered, red brick courthouse.
