James M. Cole Circus #1

This is a Booking Brochure that Mr Cole sent out to perspective sponsors. He built up quite a rout and reputation ib New York State and Pennsylvania and in Ohio also. This was a way to pay the expenses for the winter and keep his men working. The show was out of Pen Yan, NY and in later years it was run by Billy Martin. My brother Bill and I had the concessions then for 5 tours starting in early January through the end of April or first of May. We started with the show as it was celebrating it's 50th anniversary! That was in 1988 or ot 89.
