Conklin All-Canadian Shows 1942 #1

Scan12770, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Speaking of Carnivals, here are a few more pictures of the Terrell Jacobs Circus on the back end of the Conklin midway in 1942. In the doorway you can see one of the three Dolly Jacobs elephants that my father worked that year. I think the tent was about an 80 with two middle pieces. The elephants and lead stock were kept in the front round end similar to the Ringling menagerie of the early 1950's A ring set up between the first two center poles, the arena permanently set up in the next area and the cats spotted in the back round end. Not much room for seats but I suppose with a grind show it wouldn't make much difference.
