Mills Bros Circus 1955 (Fred Hoffman Photos)


Mills Show Ticket Office. This show was out of Ohio and toured the East and Mid-West for Many years. It was owned by Jack, Jake & Harry, The Mills Bros.
They brought over a lot of acts from Europe the years they had the show.
One thing they took real pride in was their Horses.
One of their elephants, Burma, appeared in Dwight D. Eisenhower's inagural parade in Washington. I beleive they were from the Cleveland area.
