Just a precaution on the Ringling Brothers themselves. All eighteen of them were blacksmiths. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.123.0 (talk) 01:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should the sentences about shock therapy be on this page? This is a page about the historical Ringling Brothers circus, not it's modern counterpart to which the comment seems to be directed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.188.113 (talk) 23:16, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be a rather short history ending in the very early 1900s. I am surprised there is no mention of Ringling's involvement with the movie industry; The Greatest Show On Earth 1952 and Trapeze 1956. 86.128.241.188 (talk) 13:40, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The how many brothers?

[edit]

The Ringling Bros. World's Greatest Shows was a circus founded in the United States in 1884 by five of the seven Ringling Brothers: Albert, August, Otto, Alfred T., Charles, John)

Albert, August, Otto, Alfred, Charles and John are six in my count, so why is it found by 6 brothers then? What happened to the seventh?--122.111.68.69 (talk) 12:34, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ringling Brothers Circus
The Ringling Brothers Circus was founded in the American city of Baraboo, Wisconsin, in 1884 by five of the seven Ringling brothers. In 1907 the brothers acquired the Barnum & Bailey Circus, merging it with their original circus in 1919 to form the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, promoted as The Greatest Show on Earth and operated until 2017.

This is a poster for the circus produced around 1899 by the Coach Lithographic Company of Buffalo, New York.Poster: Coach Lithographic Co; Restoration: Trialsanderrors and Adam Cuerden
