The company under the joint manage
ment OF Ford and Couzcns was an i'm.
mediate success and paid . per cent.
dividend when five months old. a 10 per
cent dividend when six months old and
when IL was nine months old a Is per
cent. dividend.
1t was AT Mr.. Couzens's suggestion that
Henry Ford bought out Malcolmson's
stock in 1906 for $4,000 because of
differences between the two original
partners. Ford and Couzens indorsed
each others notes for the amount which
was paid when due. 1t was this pur-
chase of stock that gave Mr.. Ford his
first control OF the company.
Mr. Couzens had already bought for
$4,000 the stock OF Andrew Strolow. AN
original investor who became interested
in gold mines. About that time. too.
began the payments to Mr.. Couzens :
sister on her loan OF 500, payments
which have totaled si7.oUo in dividends
and $50. 900 stock.
Vet for all his remarkable success In
business Mr.. Couzens's name has seldom
appeared in print in connection with the
Ford company. The Ford profit sharing
plan is directly in line with Mr.. Cou-
zenss idea and was partly planned by
him. 1t was Mr.. Couzens in fact who
announced the decision to try the plan.
When the street railway company %!
Detroit refused to accede to the city's
demand for eight tickets for a quarter
and a payment of back rentals and

Mr.. Couzens Immediately came forward
with a promise to run a thousand Ford

company came down: then Mr. CouZen.
