DETROIT, Feb. 1.—Henry Ford to- day believes “he is witting on the top of the work." In the seclusion of hie country home at Dearborn he Is laying plans to meet changes in the industrial world which he believes are coming with innovations as surpris- ing as those by which he startled the business world elght years ago.

Henry Ford is in the market for money—tut on bis own terms only. Six propositions have been made to him by New York and Boston financial groups. Another was made yester- day by a well known New York bond and ‘nvestment house. Others, includ- ing @ proposition from a Michigan syndicate, are expected in the next fow days. One restrictive proposition made by @ famous New York house resulted in its representative being curtly offered his hat and shown the door. Another, which provided for an issue of $100,- 000,000 fiftten-year 8 per cent. bonds to be sold at par and to net Ford 98%, was likewise rejected. Mr. Ford is in no hurry to close a joan. If any financiers should at- tempt a “squeeze” play, he knows be could, if necessary, stop all produc- tion at his plants and simply wait until conditions adjusted themselves. The wild rumors and excited stories prevalent throughout the country have entirely passed over Henry Ford's head. He does. not Will Enlighten Public Before Arrival of Zion’s Head, Who Intends to Drive the Devil Out of His Hiding Place.
