this country today of great wealth
of whom the masses are not criticai

willingly entrust still greater wealth.
Not only would they give him Mus

worth the consideration of men OF
wealth. A.
If Henry Ford is the master of the
art OF self advertising-and he is
that-much OF it has been done in a
manner to his credit. Some Is not
above criticism. He has discovered
that he can compel the world to give
him publicity the value of which can
not be estimated. But in that there
is danger which l think he fails
to appreciate-noti to the world, but

it has proved the undoing of others.
