100 Years Ago! #2

"Version 2" (also a half-sheet) was also created by the Strobridge Litho Co. in 1908. It has Barnum on flipped to the LEFT and Bailey on the right - and the lettering has been corrected to reflect the actual title "Barnum & Bailey". An interesting footnote to the history of advertising used with the Big Show...and a tip of the hat to Ole Whitey for pointing it out.

You're so right, Chris.

That Whitey just doesn't miss a trick.
