newyorkthegoldenage:April 21, 1923: the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus took part in a parade for the Free Milk Fund for Babies, which provided free milk to the city’s poor. There were 15 elephants in all, plus many other circus attractions. All spectators were asked to bring a quarter to buy a quart of milk for a baby. Speeches were given outside City Hall. On Wall Street, tiny monkeys, dancing in and out of the crowds, collected money in their little cups. Photo: LoCInfo: NY Times, April 22, 1923 -- source link
