FORD FAMILY RANKED
WEALTHIEST IN AMERICA
The Securities and Exchange Coinmission's recent study of the United States' 200 largest non-financial corporations eltes the Ford Motor Company as the "best exaniple" of control by one
family.
The report, prepared for the Monopoly Committee, shows that three members of the family-Henry Ford, his son, Edsel, and Edsel's wife, Mrs Clara J. Ford-own all of the stock, and in so doing rank as the wealthiest family owners of corporation stock in America.
The Ford company stock had
a book value of $624,975,000 on December 31, 1937. It com- prises two issues of common stock-in-both-of-which-Henry- Ford owns a majority. Edsel is the next largest owner. family owns a very small part through the Ford Foundation,
