Here's a picture of the Cole elephants in line.

"Hugo Schmitt told me that he had delivered this elephant "Safari", to the Detroit Zoo from the Hagenbecks. He was pretty big already.
It was Hugo's first trip to the US and while here he made a trip to see the Ringling Show in Chicago.
He said he was impressed by the size and quality of the menagerie and that "Camel Dutch" Narfski showed him around."
