B & B Weekly Expense Book - Inside Cover
This was book # 8 issued to Charles W. Parker, advance agent for Barnum & Bailey in 1918. He was in Buffalo, N.Y. four days, then to Jamestown, N.Y., Erie, Pa., and Youngstown, Ohio. He spent $12.86 in four days in Buffalo, $5.66 in Jamestown, N.Y., $3.00 in Erie, Pa. and $3.39 in Youngstown for a total of $24.91 for the entire week including RR fares.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
