   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.
