General
Three circus elephants pose outside of a tent. Identified as East Fourth Street, possibly near Lacy. Two of the elephants are wearing advertisment banners. One reads: "Bunker Grocery Supplies Us." (The Bunker Grocery operated in the Santa Ana in the 1890s and early 1900s). The other promises "The Strength of an Elephant is in Fig Prune Cereal, Made in California." Three men are also in the photo. One man has his hand on the front of the first elephant's head. A large house is also visible in the background. Santa Ana, CA.
