THESE ARE THE FOUR dOLLY jACOBS ELEPHANTS THAT WERE IN THE MENAGERIE and used in the infrequent parades. Seen are Punch and Judy Jacobs.

Mr. Herriott,
I have recorded them as Dumbo, Judy, Modoc, and Prince Siam a young Male. Does this sound correct to you? I only have the male listed for 1956 so I don't know anything else about him.

Bob,
This is what the Murray Hill records compilation lists:

PRINCE SIAM - Indian Male
1952 Brought into U.S. by Morgan Berry of Seattle, Wash.
1953-1954 B & I Stores, Tacoma, Wash.
1955 Northwest Insecticide Co. _ Harry Gross
1955 Private Party, a road contracter traded an airplane for the elephant
1956 Dolly Jacobs act
1957 Al Jenson(Whitey), Heeia-Kea Animal Farm at Windward, Oahu, Hawaii

I don't know the source for any of this information.
