Tails Of The Old West

Some times banner lines would change in the middle of the season and present a totally new show. Just about every circus or carnival had a painter that could paint a banner line like this one in a few days. Versatility was the name of the game. You had to keep trying till you got a financial winner. In this small tent side show there was no rodeo.  It was an audio talk show of how it was done in the rodeos through pictures of the real cowboys themselves. Kind of a how to be a cowboy if you had the notion. Capell Bros midway early 1940’s.
