The Strates Shows Rise From Humble Beginnings
Jim Strates, son of a Greek immigrant and carnie boss, leads the James E. Strates Shows now among the nation’s top three. The 41 year old ex-Marine, with a Syracuse degree, runs a 50-car train, employs 1000 workers, and reports a record season near $5 million as the big top opens in Philadelphia after winter quarters.
