An Original Vintage Folded Circus Poster (measures 21" x 28 1/4" [53 x 72 cm]) (Learn More) The Dailey Bros Circus was created in 1940 by Ben Davenport, who previously ran a touring animal exhibits and a sidewall (no tent) circus. He and his wife Eva purchased elephants from Honest Bill Newton's circus and the circus grew rapidly, and in 1942 they had sixteen trucks filled with elephants. In 1944, Ben converted his truck show to a 10 car railroad circus (and soon added 5 more cars). Ben included his daughter Norma in the circus and billed her as the world's youngest elephant trainer at 11 years old. The circus eventually closed in 1950. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
