Edsel Ford (Part 4)

An admirable asset of Edsel Ford was his patient, quiet, enduring decency that you did not find in persons in corporations of his size. Edsel had a character that was admired by the people who were worth admiring. There are no bones about it, Edsel was an excellent administrator, second to none, and probably would have been an excellent President of Ford Motor (he was) had Henry never meddled. And he was not the type to sucker punch as so many of his adversaries (including his father, Henry) pulled on him. As stated he took all of this in stride, until it finally made him ill (more on this later).

Could Edsel have countered his adversaries punches? He did. But this wasn't good enough for them. They were relentless and could not see the absolute fair play and decency of Edsel. They were too ignorant to see how TOUGH EDSEL WAS!

Edsel Ford was a grand man with grand ideas that if carried out, would have equalled Henry Ford's genius accomplishments.
