The Bears of Clark’s Trading Post

I would not have necessarily said that a trained bear act would still flourish in today's world, but apparently the one at Clark's Trading Post is still going strong.

I wonder if they had a hand in training Lulubelle back in 1957?

I hope that address in the old ad was for the agent's home. I can't imagine a bear living in the Outer Richmond district of San Francisco, even in the 1950's.
