FORD'S SON BUYS UP
ALL STOCK EXCEPT
ONE STOCKHOLDERS
One of Largest Deals in
Late Industrial History
Announced Friday

MT CLEMENS, Mich, July ID
one OF the largest financial trans
actions IN the industrial history of
recent years was announced Friday
when Nj. Edsel FORD, the 25-year- olc
president Of the Ford Motor Com
pany, confirmed the report that he
nad bought out all but one of the
minority stockholders, and that the
sole control of the company now rests
virtually in the hands OF his father
and himself.
The entire deal was handled, it is
stated, by the younger Mr.. Ford,
through the Old Colony Trust Co., Of
Boston. The edtails of acquiring the
stock was handled by Mr.. Stuart w
Webb, of Bond & Goodwin, and +.
NJ Holmes, Albert Boyden and Ro-
land Boyden. All minority stock
holders were dealt with independently
and each received the same price per
share for stock.
The concentration of the control of
the company in the hands of Henry
Ford and his son was precipitated by
the court decision rendered when the
minority stockholders brought suit to
compel Mr.. Ford to abandon his plan
of investing $20,000,000 in profits and
forced him to distribute this sum
among the stockholders.
This decision, it was felt, stood as
a barrier in the path of the Ford pol
icics for charging their industries
and the perfection of their plans for
the extension of their industrial and
social benefits.
The Ford policy does not favor
large dividends to stockholders. 1t
favors, as is we'll known, a profit
sharing system for its workmen and
the extension of this benefit to the
public through the reduction of pric-
eS.
eve know of no better way to
prevent war than to extend industry"
declared Mr. Ford, in commenting on
the change in ownership of the COM
pany. "We plan to continue building
plants in all parts of the world, to
continue sharing our profits as we do
today with our employees to reduce
the price Of our product whenever
increasing production makes this
possible"
With the consummation of this
transaction the announcement made
last winter by Henry Ford to the eff
feet that he would enter upon the
manufacture of a car which would
sell for considerably less than the
present model, is superseded by plans
for the steady extension of the pres
cnt concern.
All credit for the successful efforts
to centralize the control of the COM
pany in the hands of Mr.. Ford and
his son is given to the young presi-
dent. He it was who persuaded his
father that this was better method
of carrying out their established pol
icies than creating and organizing a
new corporation.
The sale stands as a striking eX-
ample of the possibilities of American
business when that business is back
ed by wisdom and trust in the posi-
bilities of this country. Sixteen years
ago the Ford Motor company was
virtually little more than a machine
shop with a working capital of few
thousand dollars Today it's assets
are said to total at least 100000,
and every dollar paid in by the few
men who had faith in Henry Ford
and his invention has returned thous-
ands.

In spite of the fact that the British
have some steam-driven 2,700-ton sub,

sidered a serious weapon of nava,

THRILLING ESCAPE
Removes Key From Jailer's

Second Episode "The Master
Mystery"

The second episode of THE Master
Mystery" the great Houdini serial, is
replete with astonishing feats of self
liberation by the handcuff king, feats
which are calculated to make even the
rlost blase spectator gasp. 1t will be
seen at the Empires Monday and
Tuesday.
At the beginning of the episode
doudini, as Quentin Locke, is shown
freeing himself from a straightjacket--
n strenuous trick that only Houdini
has been able to accomplish. Hardly
has he freed himself, however, when
he is again in difficulty. Seized and
rendered senseless by the emissaries of
the giant Automaton, Locke is bound
at his wrists with rope, the loops of
which are passed over nails in the
wall, leaving Locke hung suspended in
the air. The Automaton puts an en-
issary on guard. Locke RECEIVERS to
find his guard asleep and seizes the
opportunity to escape.
Encircling the emissary's throat
with his legs Locke throttles his
guard and while still hanging by his
hands in space wiggles off a shoe and
stocking. thrusts his bare foot in the
guardsman's pocket, draws forth key
ring, selects the right key and insert
Ing it in the keyhole, turns the lock.
Opening the door Locke swings it
close enough to give him the leverage
he requires and by resting against it
hoists himself high enough to slip the
rope loops over the nallheads and
leave him free.
The scene was photographed in an
uninterrupted closeup to prove the
genuineness of Houdinis feat.
