The Magazine is in Good only condition, with illustrated covers and a stapled spine. The program was issued without a dust jacket. The spine ends, corners and edges of the covers have wear, rubbing, creasing and wrinkling and the majority of the spine has tearing. The text pages are generally clean, but do have tears and wrinkles and there are a couple of small bits clipped out. This program features several pages of black and white photos of the star of the show - Tom Mix. Later pages include photos of other acts, including the clowns, several animal acts, and even a posed photo showing Jack Dempsey and Tom Mix after a bout ("four fast rounds"). "The circus had four elephant births, three born to "Alice" and one to "Mama Mary". The sire of all four was "Snyder". None survived longer than five months. By 1929 the Sells Floto Circus was part of the American Circus Corporation which consisted of Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, the John Robinson Circus, the Sparks Circus, and the Al G. Barnes Circus. John Nicholas Ringling then bought American Circus Corporation for $1.7-million creating a monopoly of traveling circus in America." (from Wikipedia). Good .
