This poster is copy of a c. 1930 photo of Sells Floto's Tambon with the two little girls aboard.

I recall this poster in a store front window in Nashville , TN in August 1941. I was there with my folks visiting relatives. The circus was to play there right after we were to leave for Atlanta. I asked my Dad if could stay to see the show. He said: "No, it is also coming to Atlanta after we get back." And that was true. Uh oh - - there was then a polio epidemic in Atlanta and the City would not grant an exhibition permit though the show had heavily papered the City. So, I missed it.
