Ford's Success Alleged to Appear from Dodge Role
Elliott G. Stevenson for the Dodge Brothers argued in Detroit that Ford Motor Co. owed its rise to the Dodges not Ford, citing Horace E. and John F. Dodge as providing the business impulse and accusing Ford of being an inventive genius or crank. He said Ford’s 1903 fundraising and the company’s capital structure show dangers of capital concentration, while claiming assets exceed 460 million dollars. Lucking countered that the law concerns capital stock, not assets. The judges were to rule within days.
