Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Train Advertising Car No. 1 was acquired from Al G Barnes and Sells Floto Combined Circus where it had been Advertising Car #3 from 1926 to 1938. It served as Advertising Car No. 1 for Ringling from 1939 to 1947. Image: 1959 at Baraboo, WI |

When it became a laundry-coach in 1948, a side door was added at some point and it was painted like the other passenger-type cars -- silver with red stripe until retired in 1956 before heading to the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, WI in 1959.
