Interesting to note that many shows used the "Billboard" as a permanent mailing adress. Many of the carnivals in the 50's and 60's used 400 Arcade Building, St. Louis, MO. as their address on show equipment. I believe that this was their insurance carrier's address.
Also, during the same period almost all the trucks and trailers were licensed in Alabama (both circuses and carnivals) as that state did not require a title to register your rig.

Who was that guy in Hot Springs that would get you a no-problems tag for a small fee? Benny Hazen or something like that.

Don't know that one Whitey but

I do recall that the Beatty Show

had a connection (and I used it

for several vehicles myself) in

Andalusia Alabama (maybe a friend

of Walter Kernan's) Judge Leland

Enzor the probate judge whose

secretary would mail out plates

and corresponding registrations

for just about anything (cheap)

I still have a few in the files

even thought the trucks are gone

I was stupid enough to drive a

semi all over the country with

no insurance at all (very lucky)
