The Sells-Floto Circus out of Denver, Colorado played a basic midwestern route for many years before eventually becoming part of the American Circus Corporation in 1921. This was taken in Horton, Kansas in 1918. I believe these are all Jules Bourquin photographs but I might be wrong. Can anyone help?
Check Borquin's stuff at the Kansas Historical Society. He also photographed JR and Campbell, maybe others. Jim McRoberts sold copies of some.
