The most important place on any circus is the cook house. Performers and the working men alike would get two square meals a day. Very often when meals were not being served, the cook house would turn into a G Top. Yes, there was always a little extra activity. When circus performers would negotiate with the circus owner, their bargain was always salary, gas and …………COOK HOUSE.

Doc Capell Letter Head
Posted By thecircusblog on November 17, 2011
In the 1940’s and into the early 1960’s Doc promoted shopping centers to use his carnival and circus as a means to attract people in a higher volume to the stores………. It worked! On the midway, discount coupons were given out for merchandise in the different stores. In turn, stores offered discount tickets with a purchase for the rides. This idea became popular with many circuses and carnival owners. Even to this day it is likely that you will see a shopping center show somewhere where it is least expected.
