Francis Kitzman worked on the combined show advance while Dex Fellows was still there and recalled his continuing to wear a top hat when calling on newspapers.
He also said Fellows would check out of a hotel if they refused to allow lithographs in the windows.
If you want the history of how a bombastic old-time publicist promoted a circus, Fellows's book, THIS WAY TO THE BIG SHOW, is worth every effort to find and read.
