From Hal Guyon

Buckles,
Here is a picture of a Bailey Bros semi taken in 1946 with Newberry, South Carolina on it. I just remember my dad telling me about all the different shows that wintered here in SC over the years, Barnett Bros, Wallace Bros, Clyde Beatty Wallace, Biller Bros, Bailey Bros and more. There have also been a number of carnivals that have made their winter home here over the years. When my father in law come back from WWII he went with the Newberry County Sheriffs Dept. He didn`t know the name of the circus because he wasn`t a circus nut like me & my dad, but he told me he remembered the circus staying at the Newberry County Fairgrounds. He told me about one time that he had to go over there because of a big fight, all started over some woman. My dad use to say, " The 3 best things in life will get you killed quicker than anything, Women, Booze, & Money" !!!!!
