Ah, yes, one of my heroes. I think Barnum would have just done business as
(un)usual. Everything I've heard about him has indicated that the man was
all business. I'd say, though, that's be a member, or at the very least a
sponsor, or the Explorer's Society. After all, what better way for Barnum to
get the absolute best in... exhibits? Just make sure that if you use him he
manages to get his hands on a Sumatran rat monkey. If you don't get it,
watch Dead Alive.
