for Henry Ford.

for Henry Ford.
The whirlwind of wild rumors and
excited stories, prevalent throughout
the country, have entirely passed
over Henry Fords head. He does
not even know of the existence OF
a greater part of them. He is the
most secluded man in America. The
Pope in the Vatican or Woodrow
Wilson in the White House never
succeeded in surrounding himself
with more impregnable wall
against all Corners
Works Out Problems in Library.
In his library at his home at Dear
born, where he is seen by only a
few of his most trusted advisers, he
is working out the problems that he
finds facing his properties. There
is but one way to reach him and
that is through the Office Of his gen.
eral secretary, e. G. Liebold, and
against this serene, but unimpres-
siOnable barrier, countless men who
believe they have business with Ford
have been struggling in vain for
weeks.
Occasionally, since F. J. Klingen-
smith, former general manager OF
the Ford organization, left the COM
pany, Ford drops in at the Highland
Park plant for few moments. His
comings are unheralded. The high
est assistants do not know when to
expect him.
Ford believes that he has ample
resources to clear up all outsta nding
obligations without operating his
plant. II it is necessary. AS a final
expedient, il he desired, he could
place mortgage on his property.
Faces Crisis Of Men.
The situation that Ford faced last
December-and to a degree still
faces-was not a crisis of dollars,
but of men.
For the last Ave years there has
been steadily developing inside the
Ford organization an intensely bitter
fractional contest between two groups
OF executives, all Of them master
minds in Ford plants, contending
for two radical diierent Industrial
ideals.
The battle has been founght in ST.
lence and under the surface, but
with the utmost relentlessness.
One division is largely personified
by f. G. Liebold, general secretary
for Ford and without question to-
day one OF the STRONG men" in the
organization, and C. e. Sorenson, a
production and efficiency engineer.
Struggle Causes designations.
Out Of the struggle has come an
imposing list of "resignations"-
casualties OF the conflict. The ne
cessities of production during the
world war and the terrific demands
upon the plants for production i'm
mediately following the armistice,
operated to stave off the inevita BILE
outburst.
Men prominent In both factions
declare that the personality Of Ed
sci Ford, the 27-year-old president
of the Ford Motors and in a very
real way one of the big factors in
the Ford organization, held the or
ganlZation togethe at times when
1t seemed as IL break could not be
avoided.
Eruption Becomes Inevitable.
But with the loosening of the de-
mands upon the production end, and
with the certainty that changes had
TO be made in the general plan of
operation to meet elemental bust
ness changes, the eruption could no
longer be held off.
Then came the now historic deci-

Many are the trials and tribuatons experienced during this first year in our new plant. The worst depression in the history of the automobile busi- ness was encountered. It was bad storm--but we stuck to our post and rode it out.

We don't want to influence or advise anybody, but if we had a lot in Birmingham that needed house on it. we'd take care of at least ONE of the 5000 Bir- mingham families that need homes Would we build now? We most certainly WOULD! We'd start different set of hammers working in Bir- mingham.

THE way to find out is to watch the Preston l Motors Corporation If it keeps on growing and eventually we have to bet another million and a half in EXPANSION in order to turn out PREMOCARS as fast as the public demands them then our belief in the future of Birmingham and the South is JUSTIFIED. If our business shrinks, the knockers win. Meanwhile our factory is run ming, PREMOCARS are being built. steady stream of automobiles roll out, people having con- fidence in this organization and in the car buy them-A CONSTANT REBUKE to the ANVIL CHORUS-a constant PROPHECY of the GREATER BIRMINGHAM that is to be.
 We've been in the automobile business in Bir- mingham for two years, building and selling auto mobiles during the greater part of that time When we came here the knockers said we'd never buy tract of land. After we bought FORTY ACRES on the Vanderbilt road they said we'd never stick 8 spade into it. After the ground was broken and the factory building started, they said we'd never build motor car When the Premocar was built they said it would never run.
 It was just one year ago that the Preston Motors Corporation got into their new factory building and manufactured their first automobile under their own roof. August 2 1920, thousands of loyal citizens and skeptics together visited this modern motor car factory and went away boosting or knocking, depending more or less upon whether they were dyspeptic

The claim was in the form of a Pc
