A Little Camillus History

Post by Louisville.Boy1947 »

I just finished reading "Camillus, The Story of an American Small Business" by Alfried Lief © 1944 . I found this free download at archive.org. It was a short but enjoyable read that I thought you might have an interest . :D

I have corrected the link. It should read archive.org. No "s" in archive. It is a nonprofit library....includes contributions from some universities such as the University of California, Brigham Young, Princeton, Columbia University, the Library of Congress, etc. Sorry for the confusion. I just found the book cited in the original post to be interesting and thought others might also.
