Famous Leaders Series: On Industry and Character

The "Famous Leaders" Series of books spanned a timeframe from 1920 to 1955. There was one "Famous Leaders of Character" and a series of six "Famous Leaders of Industry." The target audience was the adolescent reader. It is important to understand the audience to set the proper expectations. I did not realize this when I read the last in the series--The Sixth Series, first.

​“This is a great country. …

​"A country that provides education in every vocation. Jobs, ownership, and control await the boys who are fit and who make the fight for success.”

​Author: Edwin Wildman

​“Famous Leaders of Industry (with a new author: Trentwell M. White) discusses the lives of twenty-five men who have had the courage and independence … to work night and day to bring the results of their thinking to fruition.”
