Bell Bros. Circus 1946 #1


This is Tom Ewalt's Bell Bros. Circus a nice looking little show. The side shop top at right looks almost as big as the big top and just to the right of it in the roadway is the bull truck. The truck with the liberty horses is at the top of the picture.
Activity on the midway, they have probably brought the band out front for a side show bally.

I'm surprised at this bit of information. I had been told that all matters concerning this place are restricted and when asked, all employees "Know Nothing!".

Buckles, do you mean that you have never ever been there? Some of us old timers went there a couple of times with Janice Aria a good while back, to see the old guys from Circus World. Do you ever keep in touch with the ones there that worked for you so long? Is it that the public is not allowed there anymore? Thanks, Annie

Times change, people change and in a nut shell, I wouldn't go there if it was across the street.

Buckles, I am the biggest "HARD CASE" I know. When I say NO I mean it and when I say YES I mean it. All the children I had in my care years ago learned that I ment what I said. Even if I said YES and was wrong I still did what I said I would. I very seldom said NO.One of my friends said something about how I talked to someone who was here a while back. I thold my friend " This is my place and you will follow my rules or leave. Just because I call this person everything in the book and I never intended to let this person on the propery again. I met up with this person on my one day a month trip to town and they ducked all the way to the door hopeing I would not see them. Naturally it was about something they had done to their pet. My friend says I do tuff love. I told some one I would never set foot in a ring curb again and I never did. All because of Eloise. I still miss her so much. I like people who stick to their guns. Or elephant tools.

As Buckles says, "Times change, people change and in a nut shell, I wouldn't go there if it was across the street."

An interesting thing Buckles....once you reach that 'Three Score and Ten' it seems easier to forget and forgive. Doesn't it?
