1950 RBBB #1 (From Buckles)


This was the first year of Arky Scott's five year stint with RBBB, having been in charge of the Cole Bros. elephants for the past eight seasons, replacing Hugo Schmitt who then moved over to Mills Bros. Circus.

How many of the elephants were in

how many cars

Buckles said...

The usual number was 12 adult elephants to a 72' car.
So they would have had 3 cars.
I had 22 in two 80' cars and there was room to spare.

On the Cole Show Arky stuffed 13 into one elephant car plus his horse "Circus".
