The new title of the Carl Hagenbeck and Wallace Circus started for the first time in 1907 after Ben Wallace had bought the defunct Carl Hagenbeck Trained Wild Animal Show. With the Ben Wallace winter quarters three miles east of Peru, IN. the stranded Hagenbeck show was brought back from Mexico and the wagons, animals, people and business dealing all were united into a new and stellar show. With Ben Wallace already having six elephants, 15 more were added with the Hagenbeck Purchase. Having run out of room at the winter quarters, 5 elephants were quickly sold.
