This wonderful video of the Bonham family is included in a "short" that played in the movie theaters during the 1960's. You will need to forward to 5:47 minute mark for their feature.
In addition, below is a nice Nissen News write-up about Jack and his bouncing family.
 
Page 5: Special mention of the Valley Trampoline Center in San Fernando Valley. Directed by Stan Mattox, Nissen's sales rep. in Southern California.
Another important person on page 6: we meet Bob Bevenour! Bob went on to work closely with George Nissen throughout the years bringing the Nissen Trampoline Company and all its wonderful products forward into the 20th century!
