Joe Horwath

Joe is lifting the safety door of the cat cage. This door was 6 foot long by 6 or 8 inches high and was used for cleaning the inside of the animal cage. It also made it much safer and easier to feed the cats by sliding the chunks of meat though the opening. This horizontal door was hinged to the bottom of the steel bars and would only open wide enough to do the jobs explained above. This photo taken on the Atayde Bros circus 1958 or 59.
