The check, in exchange for 19,200,009 shares of Ford common, was presented to Gaither by Charles Blyth, head of Blyth and Co,, which headed the 722 underwriting firms distributing the stock. The check represented 363 for each share. The underwriters pocketed 31.50 per share, or 315.300,000, as commission. L The historic sale of Ford stock brought an end to America’s last closed, family - owned industrial gianL , ' In order to sell the holdings to the public the Ford family relinquished 60 per cent of the voting rights of their stock but were assured continued control of the nation’s No. 2 automaker with their remaining 40 per cent.
