Spirit of America!
A small railroad show owned by Fred Buchanan was called Robbins Bros. Circus. Having been calledWorld Bros. Circus in 1923, the named was changed to Robbins Bros. in 1924 and operated through 1931. While this poster is from a 1925 stand, the following photos are all from the 1924 spec, the Spirit of America. A perfect set for today as we all slow down and remember the sacrifice of our soldiers that allows us to have a blog today.
These photos all have from Joe Rettinger wrote on the back.
