Sells-Floto Circus/ Cranbrook, B.C.


This is unrelated but I happen to like the picture. Actually it just might be 1918 as well and shows the menagerie at right with the midway in the background. The cages have just returned from making parade, the horses unhitched and an elephant will spot them into the menagerie tent for display.
Bob Couls once told me that his first job with the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus was to climb up on the cage wagons and place the flags on each corner then remove them after the parade.
