Very nice issue of the Big Eli News from 1964. It's hard to describe how personal and how cool these little publications are. If you or a family member have ever operated a fair or amusement park, there is a good chance that a ride from the Eli Bridge Company has provided a ride of some sort. Ferris wheels were a mainstay, but they also made (and make) other products.

ALSO... The Eli Bridge Company in Jacksonville, IL is still in operation, For a business to be in continual operation since 1900 is truly amazing.

A neat historical piece with some valuable tidbits from many fairs and amusement companies.

Please contact me with any questions at all.
