largest that has ever been transport

1t is of more than ordinary interest
to note that old John Robinson, long
since passed across the great divide
was the daddy of the circus business
1t was away back in 1924 when he
first organized his one-ring tented out
fit and therein laid the foundation of
what later developed into the very
largest and most successful circus and
menagerie that has ever travelled

Like the proverbial acorn and oak"
the original John Robinson handed
down to his sons and to posterity an
enterprise that promises to rival the
running brook in continuity.
The sons and grandchildren of the
founder of the ten big shows have
one and all guarded the reputation of
the mammoth institution bearing the
name of Robinson.
AT no time during the past 90 years
of its existence has the standard of
the John Robinson circus been allowed
to deteriorate and from everywhere
that the big circus has exhibited this
season comes satisfactory reports that
augur well for the quality of the ex-
hibition that will visit here.
