Sarasota, Florida….. winter quarters 1952. This looks like a canvas top cargo tow bar semi. These semis many times were towed one behind the other. By cargo I mean these wagons could haul just about any show equipment. Many had an open top and tail gate which made it easier and faster to load and unload.
Thanks Bob for this photo.

Atlanta, Georgia 1947. Still using the team of horses to load and unload the show from the flat cars.
I want to thank Bob Cline for this photo, so that I may share with the circus blogers the history of the “Greatest Show On Earth”.

I meet this man in 1956 while we were playing Silver City, New Mexico. He and my dad got along famously. The whole afternoon was taken up by remembering the old days of the 101 and as well the 101 in 1945. Dan Dix was a genuine person cowboy and showmen.
