I was close to Jefferson, Ohio and thought I would see what was left of Mills Bros. Circus. They hadn't paid their rent so the Fair had kicked them out. They moved their stuff across the street to a man who owned green houses. The show kept selling off equipment but again didn't pay him either. What remained went to a junk yard in Saybrook, Ohio. I went out there and what remained was lined up in a row. I only had three pictures left in my camera so I couldn't take any more. The white semi trailer was their office, there were sleepers, a horse semi, a menagerie semi, 10 or 12 trailers and about 25 old tractors. Gorgon Dodge
