CIRCUS PARADE ON EAST MAIN STREET. (Photoprint.)

The Barnum Bailey circus came to town in 1903. The parade of elephants is turning the corner from East Main Street onto North Church Street.

The two-story addition to the Palmetto Building still has its original second floor windows, with rounded tops, before their replacement with modern glass. The sign for Price's Mens Store, founded in 1903, is in the middle of the picture.
