BORROWING MONEY.

DITCH men play different systems.
A~ John D. Rockefeller has been
quoted as attributing his wealth to
his ability at borrowing money, Hen
ry Ford doesn't believe in borrow
ing.
The Ford Motor company original
ly was capitalized at 100000. Only
about $4,000 of this was subscrib-
ed in cash.
That was the only money that ev-
er went into Ford's business from
the outside. Additions to the operat-
ing capital have been created by the
Ford business-taken from profits.
Three years ago, Edsel Ford
bought out the minority stockhold-
ers. They had Al IL per cent of the
Ford stock, for which Edsel paid
"about rs Millions" according to
Henry Ford, writing in McClure's
Magazine.
In other words, an original invest
ment of $11,620 sold for $4,000.
600.
Ford climbed to success without
borrowing much.
Henry Ford, when he decided to
make autos instead of watches, had
wonderful vision and organizing
genius, also an almost superhuman
genius at mechanical production.
He also had, however, an easier
opportunity than John D. Rockefel-
Ter
Both men created industries.
Rockefeller had, as his greatest
handicap, this problem: In the early
days of the oil industry, the price
Of crude oil was on worse than q
gambling basis. 1t sold for $50 {
barrel and 20 cents barrel - both
in the same year. The price of re-
fined oil products fluctuated CORE
spondingly.
Rockefeller's big job was to stab.
ilize" the oil industry-regulatc
production and prices. He succeed.
ed, through the organization he built
up. But in those early days, there
were not enough profits to supply
the gigantic capital needed by Stand
ard Oil.
Rockefeller borrowed heavily. He
had to. And the ones from whom
he borrowed made no mistake. You
find this out VIXEN you buy Standard
stocks.
