Dales Bros. Circus - 1948
The Dales Bros. Circus was put on the road from 1948 to 1950 with Mickey Dale and the McIntosh brothers as owners. They had two elephants in 1948 and 1949 named Judy and Mary. Both of the elephants had been on the James M. Cole show the year before. At the end of 1949, they sold them both, then turned around and bought two more for the 1950 tour.
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.
