Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Merchant and the New National Spirit
Despite its reality and power, this New National Spirit seems to defy definition. This is a characteristic which it holds in common with many of the greatest things in life. Certainly it involves a high and almost universal recognition of the fact that no man can live unto himself alone and live worthily.
Again, this spirit is a national impulse which puts strong emphasis on the word Service. It applies this standard of measurement to every business, industry, calling and organization and asks: Can you justify your existence to your community, your state and your country on the score of service - service in the broadest and best sense of the term?
