Romantic Rise of a Great American

1924. Mr. Conwell's task in this volume was not writing a biography, but to tell the story of his friend John Wanamaker, whose business was intended to be a daily benefaction, and whose amazing success was in itself a benediction on the rising generation. Mr. Wanamaker made it his chief ambition to make trade a benefaction, and every day an opportunity to obey his religious convictions.
