3 Ford Brothers Form Strong Team Big Triumvirate In Business World DETROIT (INS) — Three brothers, young and wish ideas, form an important triumvirate in the business world today. They are Henry Ford 11, 38, Benson Ford, 35. and William Clay Ford,, |39. gfandsondj toil! Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company. "Young Henry” has been in the news since he was named president of the company in 1946. His two brothers have had less of the limelight. Last April 15 the company announced a major reorganization in its executive structure, and Benson and William took on new responsibility. Benson is now vice president of the Mercury and Special Products divisions and William is vice president of the Continental division. Streamlined Company Benson had been active in the company since 1940, William since 1948. ...... "Young Henry” said he didn’t have all the answers to the company’s problems when he W'as named president in 1946. Ford ■ was losing |3OO on every car it made, and only wartime profit guarantees plugged the deficit. He launched a $2 billion expansion program which will be completed In 1958. The organization established by his grandfather was decentralized and streamlined. Plans for the 1949 Ford were thrown away and a three-year job of designing and producing was done in 18 months. It was a completely new car. By 1953. the company held 25 percent of the market and increased its penetration in 1954 to nearly 31 percent. Last year. Ford car sales ended in a statistical dead heat for first place with Chevrolet. Tough Competition This year, Henry said, "is going to be a very tough competitive year. We have no illusions about that, but we are prepared for it. And the saving grace of this tough competitive battle is that the customer is the one who is going to benefit.” Henry’s first job witli the company was in 1940 as a mechanic in the dynamometer room in Dearborn. He later worked at Rouge

plant installations and the test garage. i He had graduated from Hotchkiss school in Conn., and was a member of the 1940 Yale class. At the same time, Benson Ford left Princeton after two years and went to work in the experimental garage at the engineering laboratories. Learn All Phases At Edsel Ford’s suggesion, he learned the fundamentals of auto* mobile engine construction through actual experience in assembling and tearing down test motors. As part of his father’s plan to have the three boys learn all phases of the business, Benson also worked in the purchasing department and supercharger division. All three brothers saw service during World War 11. Henry went into the Naval Reserve as an ensign. William was a Naval aviation cadet, and Benson joined the army a private and came out a captain. ’ While awaiting orders to sea duty in 1943, Henry learned his father, Edsel. who had been president since 1919, was dead. * x Out of Retirement Eighty. - year -old Henry Ford came out of retirement to run the company, now producing jeeps and bombers. Two months later Ensign Ford was placed on inactive duty, rejoined the company and rose to executive vice president. In the spring of 1945, the elder Henry became ill and bedfast at Fairlane, his country estate in Dearborn. The board of directors met in September and made Henry the third president of Ford. Automobile making is not the only field in which the Ford boys work as a team. In 1949, Henry had a major role in forming Detroit’s United Foundation, a collection agency for charitable organizations. Benson now is a foundation director nad William a trustee. Being head of one of the “Big Three” has brought Henry many honors, including the title of "Best Dressed Man in Business” for 1951. When told this Henry, “That's in the low price field, I assume.” Nationally, Henry has served as chairman of the board for the American Heritage Foundation and alternate delegate to the UN General Assembly. Bill wms 1954 national campaign manager of the United Cerebral Palsy Association.
