Hamid-Morton Circus 1941/ #57 sleeper

I can remember in mid-season when "Wallace Bros." was painted over and replaced with "Hamid-Morton", a big thing in a kids world. Appearantly the show had been leased for the Hamid tour and was augmented with the Clyde Beatty unit which included not only his big lion and tiger act but his three elephants and entourage of people who always accompanied him. This was our home on the road #57 sleeper with my mother and father pictured. Ours was the stateroom in the rear which provided little more than sleeping accomodations since we ate in the cook house and the water wagon filled the tubs at left for bathing. Flo MacIntosh endlessly repeated a story of when I was still in diapers but could navigate those steps without a hitch. On one occasion I had soiled myself as well as the steps, Flo said she happened by and saw me standing naked in the doorway and saying to my father "Colonel, what happened to that poop?" and he replied "I cleaned it up. Why, were you saving it". Buckles
