These semis are usually numbered. The number on the semis will sometimes tell you what the load is and in which order it should be loaded on the flat bed cars. It also makes it much easier for the working crew to spot the trailers on the show lot.

Three section animal cage wagon…….If my memory holds true Martin was his first name, Martin Arthur, owner of Arthur Bros Circus. I do remember Martin Arthur in the early 1940’s. He was also partners with Jimmy Woods in some small show in 1950.

This indeed is a very rare photo and could be the only one. I got this positive photo from the original negative that I have in my collection.
Another great comment from Bob Cline.

The date of this photo is unknown to me. I will take a guess and say in the early to mid 1930’s. On the other side of this wagon are the ticket windows…. I just found out From Harry Kingston that the show was out in the early 1940’s.

I do not know the actual date of these photos. I can only surmise in the late 1920’s or early to mid 1930’s……. Need a little help.
Jerry Cash has a great comment. Thanks Jerry

This poster was nailed to a barn door. Of course the poster was removed and now in a collection.

The Clark family were on the Tom Mix Circus in 1936. They were jugglers and also did an aerial act of some sort.

I was quite surprised after I developed this photo on Epson photo shop. It is a great photo and dates back to the early 1900’s. All the information I have is what you see…… I can only guess they were show elephants and were lead to this river near the circus lot.
A must read comment from Bob Cline, very informative. Thanks Bob.
