ignorance or indolence which shows here? We hope ignorance so he may be
taught to utilize this place to greater advantage.
H7814 Typical conditions prior to Profit Sharing. A room used as bedroom,

in such environment must have. Is it any wonder they leave a home like
this for anything no matter how immoral or crimminal?
H7812 This shows the second home of employee who after receiving his share

H7816 What Profit Sharing has done for this man. The small building is the

this property today $2,600. The man, wife and child now have a cosy
comfortable, well built house modern in all its approvements.
H7808 The first of three different stages of Home building by a Ford Motor
Company employee in the short space of 15 months. This home of a man,
wife, and 5 children at the time the Profit Sharing Plan went into effect.
He has been an employee of the company about 8 months. He had purchased a
lot upon which mostly mostly by his own hands he had erected this shack
after [regular] working hours. He was meeting a debt to Lumber Company by
paying $20 monthly
H7809 Second Home is an enlargement of the original shack by addition of 2
buildings join. The home now consists of 4 rooms without gas, electricity
or running water - not palatial, but considered improvement.
H7810 Third Home, October 1914. He traded the old property for the new
modern well appointed cottage [with], electricity, bath, etc. and valued at
$2800.00. He has paid up $1100.00 and a bank holds a mortgage for the
remaining $1700.00. This house has been furnished throughout with a good
grade of furniture and house furnishings which are nearly all paid for.
H7811 First home of employee, his wife, and 5 children. Imagine the life
of a mother endeavoring to bring 5 small children whose ages range from 7
months to 16 years through a winter in this shack. When the Profit Sharing
Plan was adopted, our investigator found this employee paying $5 monthly
for his home.

shack and was living here with his family practically destitute when he was
hired by the Ford Motor Company. With his pay of $5 a day be bought lumber
and built with his own hands the home shown in the lower picture. A
comfortable healthy home for "Young America" he was bringing up.
H7806 A home in Serbian Quarter. This house is a six room frame building
