Jack The Giant Very Happy In His
New Role As Travelling Salesman
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK-—(AP)—The thing
that Jack Earle hated most about
being a circus giant was having
people ask, “How’s the weather
up there?”
“I figure I was asked that ques
tion at least 10,000 times,” recalled
Earle.
At 44 and still standing eight
feet-six-and-a-half inches, he is
happy in his new career as “the
world’s tallest traveling salesman.”
You must remember Jack, prob
ably the mest famous and certainly
the most talented of a long line of
Ringling Brothers Circus giants.
“I used to sell my giant’s lucky
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
rings for a quarter,” he grinned.
“I sold thousands upon thousands
of them. Every once in a while I
still bump into someone who pulls
out one of those rings, tarnished
with age. I always offer to give
them their quarter back if it hasn’t
brought them good luck.”
Jack got his circus job in an odd
way. As a child he had wanted
to be a motion picture actor. And
from the age of 13 to 17 he did
appear as a gan,g]ing. overgrown
kid in some 48 film comedies with
Baby Peggy and other stars of the
day.
Blind Four Months
“One day I fell off a truck and
went blind for more than four
months,” he said. “The injury
hastened the growth of a pitui
tary tumor.”
Jack’s stature shot up weedlike
as he was recuperating at his home
in El Paso. One afternoon he
went with some other boys to see
the Ringling Brothers sidéshow.
He was amazed to find he was tall
er than “the world’s tallest man.”
So was the circus. It promptly
offered the youth a contract.
“I didn’t want to be a sideshow
freak,” Jack said. “But I did want
to earn a living, I traveled with
the circus for 14 years, And by
then all its glamor and color had
-ended for me.”
After a trg) to Australia, Earle
returned and looked up an old
friend who was workinf with the
wine division of Schenley Indus
tries. The company hired Jack to
make a three-month good will
tour—and he’s been with them
ever since.
He has graduated in that time
from being an oddity to becoming
one of the ablest merchandising
specialists in the wine business.
Jack spends more than 11
months of the year on the road.
“Just Another Man"
“Learning to overcome the phy
sical hardships of traveling-—such
as having to buy rhy socks a gross
at a time and sleeping doubled up
in train berths—wasn't the chief
difficulty,” he said. “It was psy
chological—getting other peowvle to
realize that, despite my size, T was
just another man trying to earn
a normal living in a normal man
ner.
“But that worked out, too, in
time. When I call on dealers now,
they know I'm there on business.
And my height has éven heen an
advantage. No receptionist ever
tells me her boss isn't in.”
It is lonely to be a giant in a
world of smaller men, but Jack
is a pretty well adjusted giant. He
likes peeple. |
“When I do hit a low low,” he
said. “I go to my room, close my
door, and read a book er paint a
picture. I have a hell of a lot of
fun out of painting. I do nothing
but water colors now, and I give
them to my friends. A traveling
man has no place to keep things.”l
Jack only met oneé man taller
than himself in his life—Robert
Wadtaw, the late Alton, HI., ggt.
“He stood 8 feet.a&,s in Sz
Earle said. “I was so flabbergasted
when I saw him the only thing I
could think to say was, ‘How’s the
weather up there?’
“He didn’t like it either.”
