Giant Robert Wadlow Talking with a Friend on a Bed

(Original Caption) Robert Wadlow, 19-year-old youth of Alton, IL, who stands eight feet, seven inches tall and is still growing, is shown above chatting with a friend at Omaha, NE, where he appeared in a charity show. Although his family has been opposed to his traveling with a circus, a contract has been signed calling for an appearance with a circus in New York, Boston, and Brooklyn, only, in a "dignified" act.
