F.J. Taylor's Circus #1 (From Buckles)


Scan00000010222, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

This is a brochure sent out to Fair Boards and Fraternal Orders in what appears to be the 1930's.
No indication if this is any relation to Frank J. Taylor or maybe the title was well remembered out in the prairies.

Good Morning Buckles,
This set and the 1925 set below are all owned and operated by the same Frank J. Taylor of Omaha, Nebraska.

Along with so many others, he was a customer of Wm. P. Hall. He leased three elephants, on the 4th of February in 1928 for his 10 week spring season. He got George, Mary and Tulsa. All of them are listed as 5 ft. 6 inches tall. The lease called for $100.00 a week.

On July 24th, 1928, Mr Taylor came back to Mr. Hall and bought a black bear, a spider monkey, a white camel and a brown camel. He gave Mr. Hall a piece of land in Omaha for the purchase.

On April 15th, 1930, he again came to Mr. Hall and leased one elephant ( Mona ) and a camel for $75.00 a week for 10 weeks.

I think we can all guess who ended up getting all this stock back.
