  • Abstract
    Thomas A. Edison exemplified an important aspect of American life. He combined, in superlative degree, resourcefulness and initiative with an intense practicality and a keen vision. The many results which he attained during his life sprouted from the blossoming of this combination of talent in an environment which was wonderfully adapted for such a growth.
