Peru, Indiana Winter Quarters

I recieved some Peru , Indiana photos on Friday and that reminded me I had some William Koford photos that Al Conover had distributed. The Corporation's Heyday was over and the destruction was about to begin. What was the worst thing of it all, was the number of circus friends and fans that asked for anything as a souvenior, a wheel, a carving or even a wagon were told NO. Everything was set on fire.
