The 1912 season of the Cole Bros. World Toured Shows found W. H. Coulter and Al G. Campbell of the Campbell Bros. Great Consolidated Shows as owners according to the court records found in Fairbury, Nebraska. Al G. Campbell was also a partner in the Campbell show as well.

This might be in error.
I entered this on the strength of my dad's hand writing.
He may have meant "Queen" and "Topsy".
