FORD SELLS |
RAILROAD
Detroit, Toledo and Iron*
ton Disposed of After
Many Changes Made
DETROIT, Mich., June 27.—</PI—
Successfully terminating his excur
sion into the transportation field,
Henry Ford has sold the Detroit.
Toledo and I ronton railroad to an
undisclosed group of investors be
lieved to represent the Pennsylvania
railroad.
The sale was announced yesterday
by office^ of the First National;
Bank In Detroit. Ford officials had j
announced Monday negotiations for<
the sale of the line to the Penn
sylvania railroad were “almost com
pleted.”
Purchased In 1920 to round out
the Ford program of controlling
every step In production of his
motor cars, the Detroit and Toledo
end Ironton later was so renovated
under the motor magnate's admin- |
lstration that It became a paying
business.
Much of its success was attributed i
to the fact that its business was ob
tained from other roads holding <
Ford transportation contracts, but
Mr. Ford derived a great deal of
pleasure from turning the once de
cadent read into a profitable enter
prise. and his methods were as
startling In railroad circles as were
his innovations in the motor in
dustry.
Instead of inaugurating a policy
of economy he radically increased.
expenditures for improvements. The!
wage scale of his automobile plants j
were brought into cabs and round
houses. much to the dismay of other
railroad owners who subsequently
fought him at every turn, and em
ployees were permitted to obtain
certificates which have paid 12 per
cent annually.
The announcement of sale of the
railroad did not mention the price.
Ford bought the line for $5,000,000
but In 1924 It was learned it had
earned more than $1,000,000 a year
over the four year period of Ford
administration and in 1926 before'
the interstate commerce commis-;
sion. Ford attorneys argued the rate
setting valuation of the road should'
be placed at $22,061,208. The road
is 529 miles long.
