...care a damn. "I don't give a damn," he shouted to the eager U. S. as represented by honest newsmen. "No, not a damn." Then he remarked, casually, pontifically, that Hoover was the man (see p. 7). Then he remarked that he and son Edsel expected to fly to South America this summer in a Ford-Stout plane. Again, that he and Thomas A. Edison were working on rubber raising (he had said this before, but the public forgets). Then he said "we are building a new Diesel engine-burning crude oil instead of gasoline-and we hope...

In Detroit Henry Ford, his son Edsel and grandsons Henry II and Benson examined the public display before the great Convention Hall's doors were opened to let 100,000 people in.

In England the railroads ran excursion trains to the London exhibition. Englishmen paid...

Such delay is remarkable aside from the fact that it costs the Ford plant almost a million dollars a day. The Ford corporation that feeds and mans the big guns is a small, easily handled squad of three-its sole stockholders are Henry Ford, Mrs. Henry Ford and Edsel Ford. G. M. C., on the other hand, has a corps of over 80 high executives, its J. P. Morgan banking affiliations and 57,000 stockholders to consider in every maneuver. Yet the Corporation has proved itself the more resourceful of the two when it came to keeping abreast...
