De Land pool. Moving circus. A circus moved out of its winter quarters in the Volusia County, Florida fairgrounds to make way for a defense plant when the De Land industrial pool got under way. Fairgrounds' buildings were the only ones in the community big enough to handle the needed assembly line. So when the community got its first big war contract, they asked the circus to move. Circus tractors, in the foreground, moved out the big wagons while city trucks brought in the first of the machines to tool up for war production. Machines of sixteen companies were housed under the roofs of the fairgrounds' buildings, working on one contract
