Excerpt from The Turning Wheel the Story of General Motors, Through Twenty-Five Years 1908-1933 Those who recognize in General Motors a force of the first magnitude in America's economic life will find here several references to the Corporation's policies which have contributed to its present standing. Some of these policies apply to interdivisional operations, others to employees, dealers, suppliers, and the public. Beyond the equities in volved in strictly commercial contacts, any large corpora tion which touches the lives of millions of persons here and abroad can scarcely escape being rated and appraised by public opinion. General Motors has been a leader in pro yiding full and detailed accounting to stockholders and in giving the general public accurate news of what it is doing and why it is doing it. The history of General Motors records scientific and commercial achievements of a high order, but this is true of many corporations. What makes this corporation most interesting is the fact that its expansion was rapid and yet it was marked by relatively few of the discords usually connected with swift industrial growth. In the appendices will be found historical notes on many subsidiaries and affiliates not treated in the text.
