Right--In my day, the King Pole hoisted the American Flag, then came CLYDE BEATTY, then COLE BROS., and 4-Pole flew the banner reading CIRCUS. Johnny Pugh used to give these to circus fans at the end of the season, and told me they were spoken for seasons in advance, sometimes after round-house brawls among the fans.


I'd put this shot on the back end, with OLD GLORY and CLYDE BEATTY waving on the front end.
