Some old Show ads
In 1905, Wm. P. Hall decided to try his hand at this Circus stuff and took out his own show. This is a third page ad for the opening day from the Schuyler County Republican. ( Lancaster, MO.) His show closed early and only went out this one year. This is the top section of the ad.
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.
