US Tent 1919 cat - res seat starbacks (From Dick Flint)

US Tent 1919 cat - res seat starbacks, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Buckles, Here's a clear view of a section of starbacks--reserved seat sections--as illustrated in a big United States Tent & Awning Co. catalog issued for the 1919 season. Self-described as "The Largest and Best Equipped Show Tent House in the World," this 128-page US Tent catalog also contains an application form in the back for the Showmen's League of America. Both organizations were Chicago-based. For the uninitiated, the back piece with the star folded down onto the seat for loading. Dick Flint Baltimore
