Even his own tales were tredible to him once they were stiffened by printer's ink.

There is no jra.toa to believe that Barnum's own birth departed from the schedule, laid down by himself, of one a min- Wroer tells or the first rreak to teme under the Barnum ma: -ge-sieEt. This pioneer was an old 8fro woman named Joice Heth. irttf purported to have been owned ty tie father of George "Washington and to be 161 years old. Strictly fpkitc. he was not Barnum's dis-cortry.

He first heard of her through an advertisement printc In a Philadelphia newspaper in 1535.

It ls Interesting to read the advertising which Barnum wrote about His freak. The original notice by which she came to the t- tention of the great showman rood enough, but Barnum naa xne trick of creating the illusion of real ity tnrougn email aeiau. idi mor explicit than the Philadelphlan who first exhibited Miss Heth.

and it was probably because of this knack that Barnum was able to make his 1000 Investment yield aim return of $1500 a week.
