The clown is Felix Adler

Yes, he is. He once noted he had the basics of this makeup early on, but continued to perfect it for decades. He was titled the King of Clowns, and wore a small crown to prove it.

And his name lives on in the Felix Adler - Paul Binder Tent #12 CFA 1934 founded by Joe Minchin an undertaker from Paterson, NJ.

Those are the correct first names for the father-son model building team but what became of them? Met the son in the early 1970s around Baraboo. I'm lucky to have a wagon or two made by one of them.
