It looks like a lot of their equipment came from Mills Bros. Circus.

The tent stakes are driven as far down as I have ever seen them.
A little more and they will reach China.
Harry in Texas

Nick "Bad Eye" Bangor was the ramrod and when handing out the route slips would say, "Next two towns are Oxenhard and Petalunum!"

Bad eye [Nick Bengor] was prop boss and sat outside the cage when Eloise worked the big caged bear act with a shot gun. When Eliose left to marry John Cuneo, [this was one Critiani circus] Lucio induced Nick to work this bear act, so when Nick was in thcage Lucio sat out beside the cage with the Shot Gun.
