THE CIRCUS HERALD, (1941)
* Cole Bros. Circus promotional issue
* Gloversville, Fulton County, New York
This was a newspaper by and for the promotion of the "JAMES M. COLE CIRCUS" with generic reports on the circus ads, etc., and promoting the dates of their up-coming shows, this one at the "Gloversville Airport, Route 148...Monday, June 2" which is in New York.
The newspaper does not have a city or date, but by calculation we were able to determine this is from 1941.
Four pages, very graphic, nice condition.
Note: The James M. Cole Circus, founded by Penn Yan native James M. Cole in the 1930s, became a beloved regional circus known for traditional big top performances and community engagement. Cole, who started in the circus world as a teenager and later became the youngest circus owner in the U.S., also launched the Cole All-Star Circus—a school-based show integrating student participation in music, art, and logistics. After serving in the U.S. Army during WWII, Cole resumed circus operations and retired in 1987 after 50 annual tours. His legacy lives on through the still-touring Cole All-Star Circus and efforts to memorialize him in his hometown.
