The Big Show Posters
Posted By thecircusblog on July 11, 2010
Look out farmers….. here comes granddad. Any barn, fence or anything that stood still would get papered. The side of this barn must be seventy feet long. It must have cost grandfather at least twenty circus tickets to paper this barn. Here again J.E. was staying ahead of the curve in his advertising by using the verbage “Big Show” as it kind of set him apart from other circuses. The competition was fierce in those days and you needed an edge. In the left of this photo one can see J. E. Henry and his fixer who was also his front end man.
