These photos, if in fact they are all from the same set, were taken in 1961. I recognize the lettering style on the trucks, and kept close records on that sort of thing back then.

trucks are late 50's or early 60's

Too bad this bannerline photo isn't in color. Those Snap Wyatt paintings were a sight to behold. His work was probably the best until Bobby Rawls.

I just saw pictures of an elephant hit by a bus in Mexico named Hilda?
It was very sad to this elephant dead on the road. Wondered if anyone knew what circus she ran from and her history
