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.
There were 12 men in at the beginning.
and the beginning was 30
years ago?Juno 1ft, 1003, to be ex
act. Eleven of them had money, the
12th had only an idea. But Malcolmson,
the coal merchant, had faith
in the 12th'? idea, and he started the
subscription list. 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...
M-Ucolmsor's bookkeeper, risked hi*
thousand dollars; so did \ ernon '
Fry, a shopkeeper, and Charles H.
Bennett, a worker for a toy gun company.
Alfred Strelow. a carpcntt r
put his life's earnings of $5,000 into
the venture and rented his shed athe
first factory.
Tho Dodge brothers. John F. ar.d
Horace K.. agreed to build 050 r
tors in their machine shop and *o
take payment in stock. Two yo g
lawyers. Horace H. Rack-had nd
John W. Anderson, drew up the < r.tract
for the Dodges, and were tu'.ke !
into taking a flyer of $10,000.
These were the eleven. The !2:h
was Henry Ford, and hi- c??ntribu - n
was his four-cylinder racing au'.<-mohi'e,
his engineering serv'ccs an '
his idea that nn automobile could >
hu.lt cheaply enough to appeal to the
folk- with thin poeketbooks.
Thus tho Fcrd Motor company was
horn, capitalized at $100,000, with but
*2$.000 paid in: ar.d thus began tr.e
amazing career of Henry Ford. He
4ft old. lacking ju-t - *
weeks. As I write this down I have
before me the annual report of the
Ford Motor company to the secretary
of the State of New Hampshire,
which shows that the net worth of
!be company is placed at $028,34 1.180.05.
This sum, of course, does not
include the personal fortune* "of the
Ford*.
