Clyde Beatty Circus - - Elephants headed to lot
I would date these somewhere between 1949 and 1951, as they are travelling the former Sparks wagons and still utilizing pullover teams. The Wabash Railroad appears to be the carrier, which primarily ran through the states of Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.

Probably 1951 since they were down to six elephants that season but added "Pee Wee" and "Suzie Q" the following year.
