The Ford company, by concentrating on one model, in contradiction to the prevailing policy in the industry, ac centuated one phase of the risk fac tor, in the opinion of the government, while the value of the stock sold, was further influenced by virture of its having constituted a minority bloc, in a company controlled and dominated by one man. Dominick, whose firm refused to buy Ford stock at $9,000 in 1919, said he believed that the condition of the international stock market in the spring of 1913 was such that Ford stock would not have commanded more than $6,760 a share in large blocks. Counsel for the government expect to complete their case this week. Honor Pupils At Wadsworth School First grade: Katherine Barr, Mar ion Davenport.
