An autobiography from one of the architects of the federal reserve system.
Frank A. Vanderlip was born in rural Illinois, he worked in farms and factories until beginning a career in journalism in 1885. His efforts in financial journalism led him to become Assistant Secretary of the Treasury until the National City Bank hired him.
