I believe this is the Charging Tiger Wagon # 11 at Circus World Museum. The wagon was pressented to CWM by Louis Goebel in 1963.

I think I need a circus history explanation from one of you historians of fact out there.

I have been led to believe that Terrel Jacobs was on H-W in 1938 and in fact in the listing of circuses and trainers in the great book Wild Animal Trainers In America the cross section does place Jacobs on H-W in 38, but also places him on RBBB in 38. hOW COULD HE BE IN TWO PLACES AT THE SAME TIME?

I have seen photos of cage wagons of lettering Terrel Jacobs on H-W cages. Now if Beatty was with H-W all those years thru 34 and Jacobs was with Barnes-Floto until Ringling 37 thru 39 and H-W last season was 38 please someone explain to me when Jacobs was with H-W.

After the big one closed in Scranton in 38 did Jacobs go to Sarasota and did he then become part of the Ringling people that joined Barnes-Floto in Redfield, S.D. or did he go to H-W and then return to Ringling in 39? In other words am I wrong in assuming that he was with H-W at all and especially 38. Someone please clear up my confusion. Thanks, I will be waiting.
