I don't know which car he arrived in, but I bet he left in whichever one he wanted! :-)

It looks like the man has that bear on a leash. That must be a tame bear!

Norm,

I'm not so sure there's any such thing as "tame" bear, only a bear that isn't hungry or ticked off at the moment! :-)

I think you're right, it looks like a leash to me also.

Perhaps in the 1913 Cadillac Touring on the left in the second row, it has an empty space in the middle of the back seat between the two ladies but where would the trainer have sat ?

A tame Bear can kill you as easy as Wild bear

On one of the ladies' laps? Just wondering, lol!

The Time period looks correct, could this be Winnie the Pooh? (Harry Colebourne and Winnie)

When I was a kid my mother had a distant cousin that lived about 5 miles from us.
She collected a bunch of young animals and started her own zoo on their dairy farm. Soon zoos started trading monkies and stuff for her foxes, badgers, wood chucks and other native Wisconsin animals. She finally got a lion and a bear.
Her son would take the bear in the car and stop at country bar and the bear went in with him and it would stand at the bar and drink bear right out of the bottle.
Once he took the bear in the bar and two guys that were half drunk and didn't know about the bear took a look and ran out the back door and jumped in a car and burned out of there in a hurry.
I think it was a black bear.
The lion had to stay in the barn in cold weather with the cows but that was not too good as when the lion would roar the milk cows would hold their milk and it seemed to scare the h#$%^ out of them.
They had hundreds of visitors every weekend to see the animals.
I heard several times that it all started when my grandfather gave her four baby foxes.
The biggest attraction was a talking parrot.

Plan to visit Clark's Trading Post, in Lincoln, NH, while on the MTFCI summer tour to see how smart some well trained bears can be.

It was considered fashionable in those days to wear a bearskin coat. (Especially if you were a bear.)

One of the first Highway Patrol officers in California had a pet cat that sometimes rode on the back of his motorcycle. Can you imagine being pulled over by a motorcycle cop that had a Mountain Lion riding with him? I don't remember the name but I believe he was stationed out of Coalinga.

Bill

I don't know which car the bear came in on, but this might be how he went out!
