night opening the accumulated NAL
of MIR. Ford which filled three waste
baskets. Some of this mall had been
awaiting action for about two years.
In the collection he found company
and personal bills, duplicates of
which had been paid meantime, and
among other things a check OF $40
in payment OF an old debt.
There Is rumor, which seems
to be not without foundation In fact,
to the effect that Mr.. Ford once
tucked million dollar check in his
vest pocket and then proceeded to
forget about it. Mr.. Klingensmith
says that on one occasion he handed
Mr.. Ford his monthly salary check
and as he did SO asked him why
he had not deposited the one given
Kim for the previous month. Mr..
Ford went through his pockets and
turned up the missing check with the
remark that he had forgotten al
about It," That was in the days when
coal was cheaper. At any rate It
must give you a grand and glorious
feeling to be able to forget your
salary check!
No Attention to Detail
1t would appear that attention to
details in business was not Mr..
Ford's most distinguishing charac-
teristic in those early days. I have
heard Mr.. Couzens say that he re-
garded Mr.. Ford's ability to dele
gate the doing OF things to some one
else as one of the secrets of his Sue
cess. The three waste baskets full
of accumulated mail would seem to
bear out in part the correctness of
the mayors observation. Mr.. Ford
said to me at the time / entered
the employ of the company, my idea
of good executive is that he Is
man who never has anything to do"
l didn't take that literally, and could
not see just what he meant. But
understand now.
william s. Knudsen came to the
company in 1907 and hit the trail In
1921. He Is considered one OF the
highest authorities in this country on
steel stampings and drawing. Of ma
terial. He developed the stamping
and drawing operations of the Ford
Motor company in Highland Park.
He had charge of mechanical install
lations in the branches OF the COM
pany; devised and Installed practi-
cally all labor saving equipment for
assembling cars; supervised the con-
struction Of branch buildings. At the
outset OF the war he was put in
charge of the eagle boat operations.
The choice was in recognition OF
his ability and tireless energy. He
had the reputation of getting hings
done. Knudsen was fair and .-ener-
Gus in his handling OF men. Men
liked to work for him. Ie could
drive il necessary. but he seldom
found it necessary, for he knew how
to lead. They gave him the eagle

handling.
In addition to many things OF
great Importance, Mr.. Brownell han
died several side lines. Among these
was the Job OF finding a man able to
give us a new translation of the New
Testament in the vernacular Mr..
Ford has for long time wanted a
new translation of the scriptures, es-
pecially of the Christian portion of
them. He agrees with st. Peter that
Brother Paul wrote many things hard
to be understood. Perhaps new
translation would go toward clearing
up Paurs thought.
But above all things else Mr..
Brownell was himself the evangel of
new gospel. with Henry Ford as
all but the deified center of 1t. No
man ever had a greater admiration
for Mr.. Ford, no one ever had more
faith in him. At the home office, out
in the branch houses. and among the
Ford agents, Brownell worked day
and night to create the spirit If CO.
operation, fellowship and good Will.
No one did more to build up the
morale of the entire organization
than he. But his gospel of good will
fell into the hands of the higher
critics, and they proved it not only
fond delusion, but a needless over
head expense on production.
Day by day the executive ranks

Sales Manager Leaves
The next to fold his tent and de-

had come to the company in 1907 as
commercial manager or in reality as
manager of sales. 1t was he who

extent the sales policies of the COM
