The way these officials of the people at Washington
talk of vast sums of money makes us common “ginks”
look cross-eyed. They talk in billions with the ease we dis
cuss nickles and dimes.
FORD VS SLOAN
In the opinion of many business authorities, the ad
vent of the new Ford car will precipate the greatest in
dustrial battle this country has ever seen, with Ford and
General Motors pitted against each other in a titanic
struggle for the world's automobile trade.
Whether this shall come to pass or not, it is interest
ing to compare the two “generals’’ in the expected war,
particularly as in most respects they are widely different
in habits and temperament.
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., head of General Motors, is the
leader whose brains will be pitted against Ford's. About
the only things the two men appear to have in common
are that both make automobiles and neither smokes nor
drinks.
Ford is 65, Sloan is 52. Ford has little education;
Sloan is a college graduate. On the other hand, while
Ford is fond of books, Sloan reads little.
Ford plays much with his friends; Sloan works all
the time and is too busy to play. Ford has many hob
bies; Sloan has none. Ford has a good line of stories;
Sloan never tells one.
Ford is despotic in the conduct of his business, while
Sloan is said to seldom give an order to sub-ordinates.
Now pick the winner.
Now if we could only down the opposition like they
did today in Russia wouldn't it be a grand and glorious
feeling?
General Richardson takes an awful wallop at Alaska
and especially Seward, in the last Atlantic Monthly. An
chorage gets it in the neck, too. In the meantime we are
considering the matter. Perhaps we will have something
to say in answer and maybe we won't
Still, we will not be able to judge *the new Ford com- j
pletely until we see how one looks after a locomotive runs
it a tie race for a crossing.
Many a gray dawn brings a dark-brown taste.
It s All Fixed-Now!
