Harry Kingston said...: Yes Sir Mr. Jerry, that is a circus and any body want to figure what the nut would be now with todays prices.
I have this Kelty in my collection and on the back of the photo some one had written that if you look real good at the right hand side middle entrance you can see Clyde Beatty and Con Colleano looking towards the camera.

When in fact, he would take multiple shots of the spec passing in front of his camera. Some years, I have two or three different photos, with different groups in front of them. I don't think any of us will know the true number of circus photos that he took. Of course he also would take photos of just the bandmembers, clowns,etc during this stand. Plus the dozens he would take of the show when it went under canvas at different dates during the year.
