This caravan trailer could have been used for many things. office, sleeper, wardrobe, etc.  It was on the show in 1936.

Cargo truck and semi trailer 1936.  On the side of the semi looks to me to be a most beautiful mirror painting of George Washington crossing the Potomac River. When I put it into a close up, it was stunning. I can only imagine what it would look like in person. Comment by Bob Cline.

This is a three section cage wagon, with clown band. The photo was taken during shows parade in 1921. Notice the teamster posing for the shot as well. K.W.Vail has made an interesting comment.

I do not have the name of this tableau band wagon. The photo was taken in 1921, at the show lot while waiting for the parade wagon line up.

This is a billing poster that was used in 1921. There are no photos in this poster. All the figures are hand drawn art work. A master poster is made of which many posters are printed from.
