When Mr. Ford first raised the minimum wage in his works to $5 (1) dar, neighbouring trades- men raised their prices accord- ingly, whereupon the manufac- turer started his own food and clothing shops for his workmen. Using his unlimited purchasing power and organizing the shops as efficiently as his motor plants, he radically undersold the trades- men. Last year his shops had a CTOSE turnover of $12,000,000 [2,400,000) and showed à profit of $40,000 (£8,0001. Five months ago, in spite of the protests of the tradermen, he threw the shops open to the general public.
