Knowledge is Power

Percy H. Johnston, one of the nation's most notable bankers, started his business career at the age of eleven as a lamplighter in Lebanon, Kentucky. Deciding early in life that he wanted to be a banker, he worked tirelessly toward that goal and, when he had finished high school, entered the Marion National Bank of Lebanon. Soon the power that Johnston achieved was normous -- he became one of the great bankers of the age, all from the ideal that knowledge was power. This is his story. -- amazon.com
