It started at 10 p.m. when a special train brought the Endy Brothers Railroad Shows to this city, where they will appear all this week at the circus grounds under the auspices of the Shrine Club. Upon arrival at the West 10th Street crossing, the unloading process swung into action, resulting in the removal of red wagons off of 35 flat cars, while a special detail of Anniston police waved auto traffic through between wagons with exceptional efficiency. Two hours later, the 82 show wagons had been hauled to the show grounds and spotted at pre-arranged locations on the 3,000-foot midway. Also removed from flat cars were three huge Diesel plants which soon spread a warm glow of light over the 40 acres of the circus grounds. At 7 o’clock tonight, the 75 separate attractions of Endy Brothers Shows will be unveiled to the public.
