Scrap prices, which have jumped over $10 in two months, are now at an alltime high average of about $40 a ton and still rising.

The tractors, said he, were costing Ford more to make than Ferguson paid for them. So Breech ended the contract, as of June 30. Ernie Breech also had a personal interest in tractors. Henry II had lured high-priced men like Breech into the company by giving them stock in a new farm-equipment company, the Dearborn Motors Corp.
