A LITTLE GLIMPSE OF THE
SPIRIT WHICH ANIMATES
GREAT FORD ORGANIZATION

1 ain puDllSnlnS nereW1Cn letter
that I wrote the Ford Motor Co. and
which they reprinted, with their COM
ments, in the Ford Sales Bulletin, a
publication that they send every week
to all Ford agents and employees in
the United States, publish this cor
respondence, as / wish by every
means at my command to show the
public what the Ford spirit really is,
and the inspiration that is given ev-
cry Ford agent and employee to rep
resent and transact the business of
the Ford Motor Co., so that, through
the regular channels of trade, they
shall continually exemplify the Cord
Spirit, the spirit of 'help the other

From Ford Sales Bulletin for Dec.
T. 1915:
I A Tribute-An Inspiration.
The following letter from Mr.. w.
F. Powell, senior member of w. F.
Powell & Company, Ford Agency at
Warren, MIMI, is at once tribute to
the business policies of the Ford
Motor Company and an inspiration,
not alone to Ford agents, but to every
member of the Ford Organization
without any exceptions. It is clear,
claan cut expression Of loyalty, en-
th1Biasm, earnestness and common
ss0e business logic that comes from
to very soul of practical experience.
This is the voice of the Ford spirit.
This is the essence of Help the
Other Fellow"
Mr.. Powell's letter is as follows

"Gentlemen:-We have sold exclus-
lively the Ford automobile for the past
nine years, and you may rest assured
THAT it has only been an honor, but

''The Ford Sales Bulletin is i'm

"ln conclusion let me say that we
sell the Ford exclusively, we believe
in the car, the Company, and their
broad, fair and generous policies with
employees, agents, and customers

FIRST USED FOR AMUSEMENT
Inventors Of Gunpowder Apparently

That gunpowder was we'll known for

tons in connection with celebration
at Oxford of the anniversary Of the
birth Of Roger Bacon, the Literary d.
gest states. Bacon's claims to the in
vention of gunpowder are often pressed
those of Berthold Schwartz, who Is
generally said to have invented 1t
about 1344-a century after Bacon's
time. 1t seems certain from the lat
ter's writings that he was familiar
with the composition, not as its inven-
countries of the world. Apparently,
however, 1t was regarded merely as a
| firework, a means of producing sud-
den and brilliant flame, and its users
were far from suspecting that in a
confined space the expansive power

writer in the Revue des Questions

studied allows no further doubt that
Bacon knew of gunpowder. On page
213, under the title OF the Power of

has already said In his Opus Ma1us'
of the explosive properties Of this
