BARNES & DAILEY CIRCUS 1974 #1 (Hartland Smith)





Barnes & Dailey Circus was owned by Melvin & BK Silverlake.
It toured, I beleive, for 4 years, mostly in the Mid-West.
If you have anymore info on this show and would like to
share it please let Me know.
The photos were used with permission of Mr Hartland Smith from his
website, GREAT AMERICAN CIRCUSES, which I have a link for on
the sidebar under links.
Thank You Hart!

    Barnes and Daily was owned by Jimmy Silverlake, not Melvin and B.K. They owned Fisher Bros.
