 1954 Official Roller Skates of Ringling Bros. n Barnum by UNION Hardware Co. Original Toy Trade Ad 

The Union roller skates were declared the official skates of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in 1954. This partnership was a testament to the durability and reliability of Union skates, as they had to withstand the rigorous demands of circus performances. Skating acts became more popular during this time, and the Union skates were the go-to choice for professional skaters. The Circus later closed in 2017, but the Union brand continues to be a respected name in the roller skating industry.
