Ford the "Richest Man."
New Nork-Henry Ford is the rich
est man in the world, according to
an article published last week by the
Wall Street Journal.
"Henry Ford has in the Ford Mo
tor Company the largest income, and
if capilized, the largest fortune in
the world," said the newspaper.
"Profits, before taxes for 1922,
will exceed 125 million dollars; af
ter taxes they will be 110 million
dollars-about $100 a car. With
these earnings the Ford Motor Com
pany could be capitalized at 2,000
million dollars and pay 5 per cent on
"Ford condemns bankers, but with
180 million dollars in cash he is the
largest individual banker in this
country, if not in the world.
"His income, adding to his bound
less wealth, 1-2 million dollars a day
through the busy s eason, is probably
unequalled in all history.
"If he continues to pile up cash at
this rate he can not Jong denounce
Wall street or the money power of

"Blest Be the Tie That Binds."
One Man's Road to Success.
Fifty years ago, a young man went
to Chicago with $300 in his pocket
his entire savings. He sought employ
ment and found a place in a dry
goods establishment at $10 a week.
A few days ago in one of Chicago's
biggest emporiums, all of whom had
seen many years of continuous ser
vice, were entertained at a luncheon
given to celebrate the anniversary
of fifty years of unbroken service
by the same individual who had be
gun his career at a ten-dollar wage.
He had gradually advanced, step by
step, until he became president of
the greal Iry goods firm he had serv
ed so faithfully and well.
Thirty-three of those who sat with
him had served in the same employ
as long and as faithfully as he. But
the chief prize had fallen to him. He
had studied the business in every de
tail, and made himself master of all
its problems, with the result that
there came a day when he was ad
mitted to be the principal factor. He
had carried enthusiasm into all his
work; he never watched the relock
or stunted his efforts. He"ssw'the
great business growing as Chicago
expanded. He was a man full of sug
gestions, born of observation and
personal experience. He formulated
a little set of maxims to which
kept adding as the years slipped by,
but his chief inspiration came from
his early Christian training.
Here are some of the maxims which
John G. Shedd-the young hero of
the story and now the veteran presi
dent of Marshall Field & Co.-for
mulated for his own guidance and
they are worth considering by our
youth of today who are just begin
ning a career:
Keep your life clean and upright.
So live that you will have nothing to
fear from publicity. One of the most
'important requisites for a happy and
successful business career is a clean
mental and physical concept of life.
Learn the value of time. It is a
precious asset. To waste it in indo
lence is a crime. The boy who is al
ways a little late never gets a place in
the great race of life and does not de
The man who is continually at
work is the man who is happy and
continuously successful. _
One of the most important points
in a young man is character-once
tarnished, it is hard to clear. 'Shun
liquar, tobacco and all bad compan
ions. They are too heavy a load to
Do not be a whirling dervish,
merely whirling, whirling aimlessly.
Always be up and doing. Activity
cuts a very much greater figur? than
it is usually given credit for in the
success of a young man.
Treat failure as stepping-stones
to further effort.
Never put your hand out further
than you can dray it back.
At times be bold; always be true.
Preserve by all the means in your
power a sound mind in a sound body.
