Nice set of pictures Buckles. Mills Bros never came into South Carolina as far as I know so I only saw them once somewhere in North Carolina in the early sixties. I don`t remember the spot but I remember my dad & I driving there early one morning. We made it just in time to see the big top go up and caught the afternoon show.

Thanks for the great color pictures of Mills Bros as to me it adds another dimension to me.
Does any one on this blog have a color picture of the 1940's Cole Bros tent as I guess it was blue and had animals around the scalloping.
It is the one in the Castle films here comes the circus.
You can see some black and white shots the red and white around every quarter pole.
That has to be the most beautiful circus tent ever made.

Harry, I believe I have a color picture of the Cole Bros tent you`re talking about. I don`t have a interior shot though only exterior. I`ll look it up and send it to Buckles to post.

Thanks Hal so much as what I have seen in black and white it ought to have been a beautiful tent during the war years.
