"Advertising is like learning -- a little is a dangerous thing."
--P.T. Barnum

P.T. Barnum did many things in his life . . . however, this page does not hope to look at all of them. This page is primarily concerned with Barnum's dedication to advertising and promotion. |
| This page is strictly for educational purposes. The author uses several pictures of advertisements which Barnum used. The ads are not promoting the Barnum legacy in any way; they are merely present to educate. The author would like to thank the sources in the bibliography for their help both visual and informational. I would highly recommend these books for those wishing to learn more about the hero. |
