These might fit in with today's postings. Notice the quote in the ad "Not in the Circus Trust" ????

The "circus trust" refers to John Ringling's empire of shows after he acquired the American Circus Corporation in 1929. The term was used as well two decades earlier by Sells-Floto against the Ringlings who had recently acquired B&B and Forepaugh-Sells shows. That earlier era was the time of industries consolidating into big corporations or trusts that attempted to dominate industries and therefore control prices--e.g. John D. Rockefeller and his Standard Oil.
