The D. B. Wharton Circus, formerly Dykes and Wharton Combined Vaudeville Circus.
These shots, and there's only two of them were sent to me by Fred Hoffman.
This picture shows the Concession Truck, an old Hunt Show truck,.It pulled the combination office and concession trailer.
The whole show moved on three trucks. The other one being a Chevrolet Panel.
Dave tried to do everything, Booking Agent, Concessions, Front Door, Announcer and performer!
Any other performers were sparse.
This might have been the farewell tour.
His demise owed to an accident on a bridge, at the bottom of a hill, entering Mansfield PA.
Dave's gone now so I'm not going to go any further with that story!
Dave had plenty of Moxie, as the old timers used to say!
