This was in the Lancaster Excelsior. With Wm. P. Hall having passed away on June 30, 1932, his wife and son tried to continue on with Bert McClain still being their right hand man. Times were tough and the family was strapped for cash so they sold these three elephants. If I kept my elephant records correct, Mr. Hall would have owned thirty elephants in 1932 when he died.

1935?
No, 1934 is correct.
Didn't know this as Mr.Adkins was still with Hagenbeck-Wallace in 1934. Bet this didn't set well with the Ringling interests. Anyone know what he did with them till he finnished the season with H-W ?
I understand 33-34 for the Worlds fair. Was thinking 34-35, but you are correct after doing a little digging. He was still working for RBBB in 1934 which is interesting.
