..The Billboard..Jan.28,1956..

..Two Elephants Open Bridge Over Grande..
..Laredo,Texas..
        Elephants which Circo Union is buying from Kelly-Miller became the first users of a new bridge between the U.S. and Mexico here.
        The bulls had been stalled in Laredo when the mexican show's truck couldn't cross the river because of high Texas taxes. The elephants couldn't walk across the temporary pontoon bridge, so authorities allowed the animals to walk across the new permanent bridge on Friday, the day before it's official opening to traffic.
        The elephants are Lucy, formerly with Seils-Sterling and Ketrow circuses, and Daisy, formerly with Russell Bros. and Christy.
        Meanwhile in Hugo, Kelly-Miller has taken delivery on another baby elephant, making six bought in 1955 and a total of 23 in quarters. Superintendent Fred Logan will take Kelly-Miller bulls to dates at Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sioux City, Ia.
