Mr. Reuben Mawson remarked that the name of George Cadbury was 'uppermost in the minds of thousands of workers engaged in the moral and spiritual welfare of the community'. Reflecting Mawson's comments, many of the extracts featured refer to perceptions of George Cadbury amongst working-class people, such as a letter sent by the Reverend F. H. Benson in which he recalled the 'reverence' with which George' Cadburys name was received amongst a crowd of poor men he had recently spoken to in Birmingham's Bull Ring.
