Noell's paper is on Asa G. Candler, a prominent businessman and philanthropist, born in Georgia in 1851 to a Quaker family. Initially pursuing pharmacy, he eventually entered the drug business. His acquisition of the Coca-Cola formula in 1888 significantly shifted his career focus, leading to Coca-Cola's global success through innovative marketing. Candler's philanthropy, especially towards Emory University and Methodist institutions, marked his later years.
