I guess this was shortly after

buying B&B but not yet combining

the show names under "TGSOE"

Chic Silber said...


I know I could be brought up on

charges by serious historians for

"doctoring" these images but it

seemed to call for more color

Ole Whitey said...

No, but you might be brought up for not knowing that in 1909 the Ringling show opened at the Garden and the Barnum show at the Chicago Coliseum on South Wabash. Only time they tried that.

The stuff I don't know Dave would

fill a few hundred encyclopedias

I'm just grateful for what stuff

I can remember (1909 R U kidding)

Whitey's right. And, the RB show did not do well in its Big Apple debut. The new Yorkers wondered who these bucolic westerners were and how dare them take away our B&B.
