It was a never ending task sewing rips and tears in the big top. This is Casper “Whitey” Jensen. I understand from his granddaughter that he became boss canvas man on the Al G. Barnes Circus in 1930. I can’t count the times that I had to sew canvas. If the wind didn’t get it, ragging it out on a bad lot would or maybe some green help walking on it. I still have my sewing pom and beeswax and the spicing spike that my father gave me when I was a kid.
