Excerpt from Automotive Giants of America Men Who Are Making Our Motor Industry Curiously although our automobile industry is young, its leaders are not young men. The average age of the twenty foremost is a shade under fifty-five. Only three of them are in the forties. Every one of the twenty is self-made. Most of them had only a moderate amount of schooling. Nine had some college training. Few of them started life in any mechanical or engineering line of work. Office boys lead. Grocery boys and farm boys are well represented. Not one of the twenty comes from the Far-West. The East and the Middle-West gave birth to most of them, although the South can claim three. Ohio produced four, New York three and Michigan three. Only one was not born in America, a record probably not matched by any other industry of first importance.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION (1926): Curiosly, although our automobile industry is young, its leaders are not young men. Every one of the twenty is self-made. No other industry in this country or anywhere else in the world ever enjoyed such growth or accomplished so much in the brief space of twenty-five years. Our automotive giants are essentially men of courage, men of initiative, men of vision. How else could there have been created productive capacity of over 5,000,000 vehicles a year, when year after year from the very start there have been direful prophesies of impending "saturation", of impending disaster? How the foremost leaders have brought the automotive industry to its unique eminence is told in short stories, all of which have appeared in Forbes Magazine, half of them written by B. C. Forbes and half by O. D. Foster.

Forbes was born in New Deer, Aberdeenshire, in Scotland, the son of Agnes (Moir) and Robert Forbes, a storekeeper and tailor.
University of Street Andrews.
After studying at University College, Dundee (then part of the University of Street Andrews), in 1897 Forbes worked as a reporter and editorial writer with a local newspaper until 1901 when he moved to Johannesburg, South Africa, where he worked on the Rand Daily Mail under its first editor, Edgar Wallace. He immigrated to New York City in the United States in 1904 where he was employed as a writer and financial editor at the Journal of Commerce before joining the Hearst chain of newspapers as a syndicated columnist in 1911. He left Hearst after two years to become the business and financial editor at the New York American where he remained until 1916.
He founded Forbes magazine in 1917 and remained editor-in-chief until his death in New York City in 1954, though assisted in his later years by Bruce Charles Forbes (1916–1964) and Malcolm Stevenson Forbes (1919–1990), his two eldest sons.
He died on May 6, 1954. His body was returned to his native Scotland, and lies buried in the cemetery at Hill of Culsh, Aberdeenshire.
