Big deal Quote by Beth Macy

“From 1840 to 1940, the circus was the biggest form of entertainment in the country. People were starting to have money, starting to have half a Saturday off. In an era before people went on vacations much, the big deal was when the circus came through town.” quote by Beth Macy — Download Open image
