Erskine Debaters FORD’S ORIGINALITY I have known Mr. Ford for a good many years. What makes him differ ent from all other leaders in business is that he has no fixed “brain pat terns.’’ Because things have always been done in a certain way does not seem to Mr. Ford sufficient reason for continuing to do them that way, if a better way can he found. •Mr. Ford is often called an auto- jerat, because he insists upon doing : things in what he believes to be the right way. He has no patience with people who tell hini that his way is the wrong way, before it has been tried out. That is why he bought out p ^ , his minority stockholders for nearly V The I’.
