Cole Bros. Circus 1946



In this corral menagerie shot we see "Irish" Greer with his dog and over his left shoulder are "Cook House" (Harold Streeter) and Billy Cox.
Cook House later went to work for MacDonald on the Polack Show and was still there when I took over the elephants in 1965 but was called Harry.
That first year we moved the elephants by baggage car on long jumps and on one occasion I hired a young Casey Gibbs to drive the empty elephant truck.
