Nellie the Elephant by the Toy Dolls from a 1950s song is now going to be worming in my ear all day, thanks!

J.J. Jones Exposition

I recall Johnny J. Jones Exposition Shows. It was a railroad carnival show, not a circus, and had many Canadian playdates with Winnipeg as one of their favorite spots. J.J. Jones Shows were still going strong well into the 1950's ... thanks from an ex-carny.
