Those Were The Days My Friend

Posted By on May 9, 2018

 

Children standing before the brilliantly colored poster of Ringling Bros, Barnum and Bailey. It was displayed on an old barn in Jefferson county. The poster foretells the coming performances of the circus in Milwaukee,1950.The days of the great circuses large and small are gone forever. When the animals were taken away, so was the soul. Thanks to animal rights originations and the politicians that turned there heads, an American family tradition is no more. I wonder now, what will they take from us. Could it be our freedom next! It does not take a brick #S&* house to fall on me to see what’s going in our country.    

This photo was sent to me from William V. Rauscher.
