Cole Bros winter quarters 1936. After an enlargement of this photo I could read on the back door of this wagon “The Wonder Show”.
Harry Kingston has an interesting comment……. Thanks Harry.

The wonder show was Christy Bros Circus and Adkins and Terrell went to South Houston, Texas and bought many and equipment from G W Christy for there new Cole Bros Circus.
Harry’s right. The Terell and Adkins undertaking encompassed purchases from George Christy and his Wonder Show, the defunct Robbins bros. Circus that had been stored at the Wm. P. Hall farm since the end of the 1931 season and from the closed Miller Bros. 101 Ranch Wild West show.
There were a few other minor purchases but this made up the basis for the new 1935 Cole Bros. Circus.
This particular wagon is now at the Circus World Museum. It is known as the Kangaroo Tab.
