FORD MILLIONS PUZZLE.
£23,000,000 IN A YEAR, Nett profits. of the Ford Motor Company have been stated by the firm's chief auditor in a "patent"; case in the Detroit court, thus: *****- For seven years, 1917 to 1924; net profit 526,141,951 dollars (normally about £108,000,000).
In the record year, 1922, net profits 115,000,000 dollara (nor- mally about £23,750,000). Gross profits for the seven years exceeded 810 million dollars.

Mr. Ford finances his huge business himself, and never resorta to the money brokers for a cent. ́ ́
Wall Street calculates that the Ford assets exceed a thousand million dollars.
How much of the profits mag the Ford family be taken out annually is unguessed-at
