The Art of Money Getting (Illustrated)

Illustrated Version of The Original Classic "The Art of Money Getting"

P. T Barnum (July 5, 1810 - April 7,1981) wore many hats! He was best known as an American showman but he also had many more titles. Phineas Taylor Barnum was also a businessman, politician, author, and philanthropist.

Barnum started his first business at a fairly young age (early twenties). From there he created several more businesses over the years such as a newspaper company, lottery networks, general stores, and more but it wasn't until 1835 when his career as a showman began.

Barnum started his own circus business at the age of 60 which is now known as "Barnum & Bailey Circus". His Circus was eventually sold to the Ringling Brothers and the two companies eventually merged to form Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus. As mentioned prior, Barnum was also an author and wrote several books including this one. Barnum was a very successful businessman that decided to share his knowledge with the world to help others achieve success.
