Our imaginations are intrigued by the spec tacle of his rise from our ranks. Yesterday he was a farmer's son, an office boy, a peddler of Armenian laces. To-day he is a demigod.

In one life time he has made himself a world power; in twenty years he has made a hundred million dol lars, we say. He is a Big Business Man. Our tendency was immediately to put Henry Ford in that class. He does not belong to it. He is not a Big Business Man; he is a big man in business.
