P.T. Barnum Poster
Posted By thecircusblog on July 27, 2009
P.T. Barnum Show poster before he combined with James Bailey. It is said that Barnum coined the phrase “A sucker is born every minute.” I have been told by a good authority that it was not he but Adam Forepaugh that first said it. It really makes no difference but I think it fits with what our politians would say today. I do believe Barnum was the first to use the phrase” Greatest Show on Earth.”
