ONE FOLD.
Between January 1 and April 19, 1921, the Ford Motor Company had $58 million in financial obligations due, and only $20 million available to meet them.
Representatives of several large financial houses offered to extend loans to the company, on the condition that the Fords yield financial control.
Ford refused the offer.
With little time available, Henry Ford transferred as many automobiles as possible to his dealerships, who were instructed to pay in cash. Almost immediately, this generated $25 million. Ford purchased the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railroad. Ford was able to reduce by one-third the time that automotive components spent in transit. Released $ 28 million from this.
