Nation honors edison as exemplifying american spirit

From Rhode Island to California tribute was paid to the “wizard of Menlo Park” on the 100th anniversary of his birthday, February 11, by leaders of every walk of life, by others who had known Thomas Alva Edison in life, and especially by men of the electrical industry, who so well personify the truth of one speaker´s reminder that “you would not be holding the position you hold, … would not be living the life you are living … if it were not for this man.”
