RBBB 1955 "Smokey" #5



I took these last 4, poor quality pictures myself with a Polaroid camera when I visited Smokey in Chicago, while the show was playing the Soldiers Field parking lot.
You will notice the Bill Ballentine designed fold-outs over the five ticket wagons. Posted by Picasa

Never saw the Ringling show under canvas -not because of youth, unfortunately, just location. That is a mighty impressive front end with 5 ticket wagons. Was it this big right to the end? cc

Does any one have a better picture of the sign on the left hand side of the ticket wagons? or what does it say on it?

Its was big till the end and I marveled at how it moved most every day the logistics is mind boggeling

I saw the sign with the 2 pop-up clowns at the Circus Hall of Fame in Peru Indiana.It has been re-painted and installed over the office.

Buckles,
Ned wanted to know what the sign on the fifth wagons said.
REMEMBER
THERE IS ONLY ONE
RINGLING BROS.
AND
BARNUM & BAILEY
CIRCUS
IT COMES TO YOUR TOWN
COMPLETE IN ALL ITS
VAST IMMENSITY
EXACTLY AS EXHIBITED
IN EACH CITY AND TOWN
