The same program was printed for Royal American Shows and I'd bet others bore the Rubin & Cherry Exposition title. All three were part of the Amusement Corporation of America. Nice Roland Butler artwork.

Ringling used this artwork too on a press book, route book or other collateral.

The Clyde Beatty Railroad Circus was born of the Beckman and Gerety train. I worked with a woman in San Antonio who was raised on the carny and remembered Beatty coming to look over the train and making the deal.
