imca, 1925 part two

Second part of the 1925 IMCA Canadian races. The advert shows what entertainment the mid-1920s crowd was being offered. Rubin and Cherry Shows: "The Aristocrat of the Tented World". Sounds good to me no matter the price of admission.

All that and auto races. John DePalma, Elfrieda Mais versus Marion Martin. Emory Collins, Fred Horey and others. Helluva deal:
