Is a lesson of profound importance To

Henry Ford has done with the Detroit,
Toledo and Ironton railroad. He cat.
alogues Mr. Ford's achievements in
this instance under five headings:
First. Turned a deficit into sur,
plus during the hard period of the
first six months of 1921.
Second. Reduced the train sched-

The corporation official is right
There is an impressive lesson In VIII
Ford has done with this railroad.
There also is n great lesson In %hat
he has done In other instances. But.
with all the evidence the Detroit man
furnishes. the American business man
is inclined to consider him as some.
what of a freak. Clever? Yes. extra
ordinarily clever, but man whose
methods could not be applied general
" to the infinite variety of industries
in this country.
Men are inclined to believe their
more successful fellows have been IA
yored by luck or circumstances. They
may say Ford was lucky in hitting on
a type OF car that met wide public
favor. But II was something other
than luck that kept him out of Wall
Street, where all the others of his line
landed, and II was something more
than luck that has kept him at the
head of one of the major industries
for fifteen or more years.
More than money In requisite TO sue
coed The greatest banking house in
America embarked on an elaborate
farming enterprise. That was an I'M
usual adventure for money princes
and much was expected of II. Little
or nothing has been heard of II for the
last few years and reports are that
the outturn was most disappointing
to the bankers.
Fords success in the railroad field
as well as the automobile field may be
ascribed to plain common sense and
earnest attention to business. He
isn't genius. A genius does not
make money
Look at the facts. There was just
as much traffic possible for the De
troit, Toledo and Ironton to obtain be-
fore Ford bought the property as to-
day In fact, there was more. But
The road did not get the traffic be-
cause 1t didn't go after it. Five of the
seven gentlemen who controlled the
road lived in New York and dominated
the property. Absentee landlordship
isn't the best business.
Why. il those men were ION the
Job" couldn't they have done what
Ford has done? The road Is the
same as TO rails and cars and locomo
tives as II was year or two years
ago 1t Is true Ford gives to it all
the traffic he controls, but Ii the road
is of great use TO him today its man
ayers, ii they were keen, could have
made II of great use TO him years

der its old m Engagement it lost from
$1,000 TO nearly $4,000 Il day and was
