Mr. Schmitt's truck and trailer, I just can't picture him behind the wheel.
During his days with the Mills Show he must have owned a house trailer and knew how to follow the arrows.

As it turned out Leonard Bros. and Ringling Bros. both folded about the same and again the call from Mr. Concello, "Come home all is forgiven!"
