Mr. Ford On How To Make Money
"DON'T SEARCH FOR PROFIT ONLY"
a
Mr. Henry Ford, who once caused sensation by declaring that
"history is bunk," recently declared that the "proût motive is bunk." He was speaking at the New York World's Fair, where he had gone to see the arrival of his 27,000,000th car," which is to be placed in the Ford oulding.
"I have always believed." be said to hundreds of Ford en- ployees gathered at the Fair, "that if you go in for money and noth- Ing but money, you won't get it."
"If you go a sincerely and well prepared to do something useful, you will never lack money to carry it out."
Mr. Ford took the opportunity to modify his famous statement about history. The kind of history represented by the Fair, he de- clared, was different.
"Here mankind," he said. "It makes wars ig ů real story of
and polities look cheap."
Foreign nations, he added, had sent only what they were proud of. "They have not," he commented, "sent their bombs, polson gas, and samples
of thel concentration camps. They are not really proud of those things.".
