Each Dollar Has Grown to $71,420.

The other day it was reported that a syndicate of Eastern financiers offered Ford two hundred million dollars for his business, which offer was refused. If the reports are true that the Ford business is the outgrowth of an original investment of only $28,000, the refused price of $200,000,000 would mean that each SI,OOO of original investment has grown to $7,142,000; that each SIOO of original investment has grown to $714,000; that each single dolar of original investment has grown to $71,420.
