"Doc" Milton Bartok

Thanks to Bob Cox for sending this snapshot of Doc Bartok the first year he had the Hunt-Bartok Circus on the road back in the 1960's.

An interesting note to this picture is that Doc Bartok stopped in at our store in Salisbury and gave us the news that he had just purchased a big part of the Hunt Bros. Circus the day before.

The reason for Doc's nickname is that years ago he owned an old fashioned, under canvas medicine show. While he was in the store that day a couple of customers that came in recognized him from the medicine show that had played Salisbury at least 20 years before.

Doc had a medication called Bardex that was still on the shelves at drugstores in Salisbury.

Doc Passed away quite a few years ago.
