Above all else, PT Barnum was a salesman and promoter who knew how to get people talking. Today, the legacy of his work lives on in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, still billed as 'The Greatest Show on Earth.' When PT Barnum first launched his business, there was heavy competition as many entrepreneurs had set up their own traveling road shows.

"If you are an average company, with an average product, selling at an average price, then guess what you’ll get - average results." As I look at this quote all by itself it seems ordinary. Nothing special. But your examples on the way P.T. Barnum built an un-average company make it extraordinary.
@suntoyfull64 Cool idea - what were they promoting?
