Success
Mr. Ford gathers millions of dollars with as great ease
as a child fills its bucket with sand when playing on the beach. It has been
said, by those who were in position to know, that Mr. Ford, if he
needed it, could send out the call for money and gather in a billion
dollars (a thousand million dollars) and have it available for use within
one week.
No one who knows of Ford's achievements doubts this. Those who know him well know that he could do it with no more effort than the average man expends in raising the money with which to pay a month's house rent. He could get this money, if he needed it, through the intelligent application of the principles on which this course is based.
While Mr. Ford's new automobile was in the process of perfection, in 1927, it is said that he received advance orders, with cash payments, for more than 375,000 cars. At an estimated price of $600.00 per car this would amount to $225,000,000.00 which he received before a single car was delivered. Such is the power of confidence in Ford's ability.
Mr. Edison, as everyone knows, is a philosopher,
scientist and inventor. He is, perhaps, the keenest Bible student on earth;
a student of Nature's Bible, however, and not of the myriads of manmade
Bibles. Mr. Edison has such a keen insight into Mother Nature's Bible that
he has harnessed and combined, for the good of mankind, more of Nature's
laws than any other person now living or who ever lived.
It was he who brought together the point of a needle and a piece of revolving wax, in such a way that the vibration of the human voice may be recorded and reproduced through the modern talking machine. (And it may be Edison who will eventually enable man to pick up and correctly interpret the vibrations of thought which are now recorded in the boundless universe of ether, just as he has enabled man to record and reproduce the spoken word.)
It was Edison who first harnessed the lightning and made it serve as a light for man's use, through the aid of the incandescent electric light bulb. It was Edison who gave the world the modern moving picture. These are but a few of his outstanding achievements. These modern "miracles" which he has performed (not by trickery, under the sham pretence of superhuman power, but in the very midst of the bright light of science) transcend all of the so-called "miracles" described in the man-made books of fiction.
Mr. Firestone is the moving spirit in the great Firestone Tire industry, in Akron, Ohio. His industrial achievements are so well known wherever automobiles are used that no special comment on them seems necessary. All three of these men began their careers, business and professional, without capital and with but little - schooling of that type usually referred to as "education."
