Henry Lord believes that they have, that the time of workers in large cities, and to get back to the small communities with industry. His theory is that the massing of industrial workers in u large city is bad for the country, and that anything which is bad for the f untry is, in the long run. bad for industry. He announces that ho has' demonstrated to his own satisfaction 1 that industries tan be taken to the v\iiu liVu close to the bUJ!,, u.:d that lie c\ cts to expand his ova indu .rial a ivitips along this The Ford Idea is that instead oi j housing a large industry in a single j large plant or group of plants in a ; city it can be broken up into small units, and each unit can be success-1 fully operated in a small town, where 1 it, wili provide employmept for the class of peoplo who * leave small 1 towns for the industrial opportunities ■ of the cities, and also part-time em-,j ployment for fanners who are now! uimble to make a satisfactory living on- sel.VI f. ms. The water power available in many small towns will jarvid ■ the power for the factory, at, 1 the factary wili provide power for the town’s utilities. In this way. 1 Ford believes, the towns can be made attractive enough to hold the workers. and the whole scheme will save th§m f/om the unwholesome life in j packed cities. The small town a4 a potential industrial asset hah. already been utilized to some extent by manufacturer*, chiefly those seeking relief from t&Dor troubles in lug cities, und in . g Borne u-drias the truth of Ford's contention has been proved. In such industries as Ford's, where there is a r.ri enormous production of standardized parts, the only difficulty to be met is transportation, and Ford think 3 that good roads and lyotor j truck# will solve that problem. If so, i the small town mav again become' 4 the backbone o i the United States.*— Indianapolis* News.
