MILLS BROS CIRCUS, 1953

The Mills Brothers were from Ohio. They were constantly importing acts from
Europe during the many years that they toured the show.
There was Jack, Jake and Harry.
These pictures were from one of Bill's Albums and I beleive acquired
from Paul Horsman.
They always used the Menagerie as a side show.
In fact in 1967, when we had our show, our "big top" was a
former Mills Menagerie Top!
