manned until 1923, then branching out
in the general accounting field. The

however, was wiped out in the bank

Hawkins was serving a prison term
in Michigan in 1907 for a reputed
defalcation when Henry Ford became
interested in him. Ford had heard
Of the mans ability to sell products
and cut costs, and was said to have
been instrumental in effecting his
release. His first position in the in
FAINT industry was as auditor. and
by 1910 he was the chief wedge in
the Ford sales organization.
In the year before Hawkins became
sales manager for Ford there were
only eight small sales branches with
a few hundred dealers. Under Haw-
kins' administration the sales and as
sembly plants increased to Sc and the
dealers to nearly 1000. During his
service as sales manager, despite the
repeated multiplication of factory
space and enormously augmented
manufacturing equipment, it was said
the company had never built car
that was not already sold far in ad-
vance of its production.
One Of Hawkins innovations was
the practice by which Ford cars were
shipped knocked down and then as
sembled at strategic spots throughout
the country, saving in this way
enormous freight tolls that would have
otherwise resulted from wasted space.
Thus, although the consumer paid for
his car fob. Detroit, the company
absorbed the profits from reduced
freight bills instead Of the purchaser.
All dealers were carefully watched
by road agents." really under-cover
men. To sell Fords, Hawkins said,
man had to show that he had no bad
habits. that his standing in the home
town was the epitome of respectability
and prestige and that his mental at
titude"-his enthusiasm for the fliv-
ver-was right" But there were in
those times invariably rich rewards
for the dealers who satisfied require
ments.

were best sellers, passing the $4,000

TYD|NGS PLEDGES
AID TO ROOSEVELT
Confers With Farley and
Says "l'II Do All |

bv tEe Associated FTeSS.
NEW YORK, August Ex-senator
Millard E. Tydings of Maryland, a
frequent critic of New Deal legislation,
conferred today with Democratic
Chairman James A. Farley and said
"Ill do all I can" to assure the re-
election of President Roosevelt.
THE only fair way to judge an
administration" the Senator said. in
press conference at the Democratic
headquarters after his conference with
Farley, "is to judge it as whole. Any
fair estimate of the Roosevelt admins
tration as a whole shows it has been
exceedingly good for the country.
After President Roosevelt is re-
elected, and his administration pro-
mulgates policies which I cannot
honestly support. will again oppose
them.
But, after all, our memories should
be long enough to realize it was no
ordinary state of affairs which con-
fronted Franklin D. Roosevelt when
he went into Office on March 4, 1888"
Sees Maryland Democratic.
Concerning Maryland, Tydings said:
II have no prediction to make. except
that, in my honest opinion, Maryland
will repeat in 1886 the adherence to
the Democratic column it gave in
1882. The size of the majority is i'm
material"
In Baltimore, the Senator said, the
party is better united than it has
been for some years"
About the most frequent opposi-
ton heard against the Roosevelt ad-
ministration is the fact Of 10-billion-
dollar increase in the national debt"
Tydings said, continuing:
However, against this, the stocks
on the big board in the New York
billion dollars more in value as COM
pared with March, 1888, while the
farm income is two and one-half times
more today than then.
Returning Prosperity"
Both these facts indicate that re-
turning prosperity is widespread. 1t
naturally had to come gradually.
There Is no doubt that 10 billion
dollars is lot of money-but when
one is reminded Of the stock market
advance and the increase in farm
income-and then one recalls time
when banks were paralyzed, and that
three-quarters of a million farms were
sold for taxes or in mortgage fore
closures in the five years preceding
the Roosevelt regime-any fair OBJ
server must conclude that the re-
suits of returning prosperity over
whelmingly outweigh this increase in
the national debt"
