Bob I beleive that lettering was done by Roger Boyd Sr. I know that he did a lot of the lettering on all three shows. Beatty-Cole, Sells & Gray and King Bros.
How about Henry Thomson. Side Show Manager. He painted too. That's his car and Trailer in the front. Had to be 72, 73. I was on the show the year Sid died. Over the road after Lake Placid. I see 2 elephants so it must be after that. Me, I'm Richard {Ricky} Smith. Asst. to Don "Okie" Carr at the time.
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.

Didn't Roger Boyd paint this show?
I'm glad you guys chimed in because I was thinking along the lines of Bobby Rawls.

Bobby Rawls was later. It was Roger, Sr.
