A report of the Chicago engagement appeared in the July 11 Billboard:
"Chicago, July 4. - The Tom. Mix Circus, playing a
10-day engagement at the Coliseum under auspices of Goldblatt's,
large department store firm, is giving an excellent show.
Business early in the week was light but built up after
the first few days. A downpour early Monday evening probably
cut attendance.
The circus will be augmented by additional acts, including
the Kenneth Waite Troupe of clowns. Cliff McDougall,
of press staff, and Grace Baker, personal press representative
for Tom Mix, will attend to publicity details during
the engagement. The north hail of the Coliseum will be used
for the menagerie and side show, as well as an exhibition place
for Goldblatt products."
Although no lithographing was done in Chicago 200 twenty-four sheet billboards
were used and 12,000 sheets of paper were posted.
