Fortune of Fords Is Largest In America Who is the richest man in America today? asks Edwin C. Hill, noted newspaper writer, who continues the inquiry as follows: Is it John D, Rockefeller, Jr., who holds the reins over the great Rockefeller fortune? Is it Andrew W. Mellon, with his faiflung interests? Or is it that remarkable personality who is responsible for so many tremendous developments in this country outside mere icourse, none^other than Hen^y Ford. The Ford fortune, which may aggregate a billion and a quarter, taking the worth of his company and the personal fortune of himself and his son, Eidsel, is undoubtedly one of the most respectable fortunes that was ever built up by genius, perseverance and foresight. And the story of its origin and its growth is to me one of the most fascinating stories in all the annals of this land of opportunity.

His check, Jim Coupons, came forward with his savings of $000 and another $100 borrowed from his sister. James Gray, a friend of Malcolmson, chipped in with $10,000, f<>: whi h they elected him president of the company. Charles Woodhii...
