"Miners Wear Them ! / Soldiers Wear Them ! / Farmers Wear Them ! / School Boys Wear Them ! / etc. Circus History - Antique Jumbo Circus Elephant Entertainment -type Anthropomorphic Fantasy Trade Card HISTORICAL NOTE: - - "It was not Barnum but his partner, James Bailey, who proposed making an offer to the Londoners to bring the big animal to America. As was his habit, however, Barnum soon made the cause his own. By 1882 Bartlett was fed up with Scott, Jumbo's unruly trainer, who often used his hold over the elephant as blackmail against his employers. When the offer came from overseas to purchase the beast, Bartlett accepted - much to the chagrin of the zoo's constituency, which made its objections heard loud and clear. After weeks of futile and anxiously reported efforts to get Jumbo into an enormous packing crate - the elephant clearly knew he was being sent away - Barnum and his colleagues finally welcomed their new attraction at New York's Castle Garden Pier. The crowd along the procession route to the circus's home at Madison Square Garden was, according to the author, the largest gathering ever seen in Manhattan."
