the case. From the very earliest time

of the great statesmen to serve in the

FoRD AND EDISON

IL ENRY Ford and Thomas A. Edison probably
l 1 laid their plans m regard to the Muscle Shoals
power and nitrate plant while they were on their pro-
longed vacation in West Virginia last summer. The
long hours spent together in camp must have been
featured by much discussion Of future work and Of
ambitions yet to be fulfilled. There is every possibility
that the need for interrupted planning Of an outline for
such a magnificent venture, might have inspired the
trip of last summer.
Ford himself made the proposition to the govern
ment to take over Muscle Shoals and complete the
dam at less than one half the sum previously e:timated,
with the privilege of operating the plant on prolonged
lease, in company with Edison;
America commands in the persons of these two
individuals such genius as no other country can claim.
Alone. each one Of them. has given more to the COM
fort and the benefit of the human race than any other
individual whose genius has been along the same
lines. Henry Ford is not the remarkable person that
is Thomas A. Edison. yet with lis almost mcanny
mechanical talents, he would be able to direct the
production of such a plant with a PERCEPTION that no
other could equal, and with Edison's chemical
knowledge and inventive genius. the two would prob
ably make the Muscle Shoals a vertabIe treasure
house of beneficial products for peace time pursuits.
With Ford as tie directing force of this great
plant Muscle Shoals would make an inexhaustable
topic for The press. The redoublable Henry knows
how 10 pull public attention his way. and never fails
to stir up interest when things appear 10 langlish. The
plant would be asgreat play ground, as well as a
mighty work shop for this remarkable pair. and the ex-
periments carried on there would command interest
from engineers and researchers the world over.
