I, Sami : 65 Years on the Road

Sam Silverman's autobiography tells how a poor boy from Pinsk built a thriving business in Chicago; weathered two World Wars, the Depression, and the vagaries of fashion; raised a large, talented family; and made the force of his shrewd and happy personality felt from coast to coast. Sam Silverman, super salesman, was one of the last of a dying breed. His story is extremely funny and often touching. It is also a genuine contribution to American history.
