These ads are from the Dec 7, 1950 Lackland Air Force Base newspaper.The papers name is Talespinner. The base is located in San Antonio, Texas. Rubin did a forehead perch act with his wife Anita who was great performer. These two wonderful people never had a bad word for anyone. Rubin always called me his  Guero “Blondie”. It was from Rubin I got my first idea’s on teaching Bongi my Chimp the perch. Betty was Benny ‘s wife not his sister as the article states…….. she did look much younger than Benny.
