Show H HENRY FORD SHOWS THEM HOW H Business men everywhere liaye taken H interest in the recntly publishd storv of how Henry Ford avoided the difficulties H ' . of the recent period and brought his busi- H ness out to a wonderful height of pros perity. It will seem marvlous to many people thatalthough the ford Motpr company was splendidly organized previously., yet the management was able through the recent period of business pressure, to. make many economies and establish their operations on a still more efficient badisr It goes to show that almost any concern can improve its methods if it .makes a serious se-rious effort. t6 do so. Mr. Ford's policy of liberal treatment of labor has also proved an asset. It has heloed induce his employees to cooperate with his plans, and make a great effort for the most 'efficient cooperation. Mr. Ford correctlv noints out that the war period got people into the way of spending money loosely. They got in the habit of looking at small economies as unimportant. "War by its unwholesome stimulation undermines everything," says Mr. Ford, and he points out how bankers, manufacturers and workers have all been affected by this spirit of waste and loose .operation. The task of the present times is the picking up of loose ends and the. getting back to patient and careful methods. The people who look carelessly at a iittle waste, get in the habit of looking with indifference in-difference on a big one. It is a time al-. so for intensive study of everv form of nrodSuction to see how the most can bo effectd with the least cost. If every lmsiness man and every worker work-er in Provo will do in his own affairs what Henry Ford did in his factories, our cbmmunity wil have some share in the same prosperity that, has come to Mr. Ford in his big business.
