Excerpt from An American Business Adventure the Story of Henry a Dix

At a gathering in my New York home on the day before Christmas of 1922, I announced casually that in a few days I would be "out of a job." Upon being questioned, I explained that father and I had decided to retire, that our business was to be turned over to our managers, and that the rank and file were to become the holders of our preferred stock.

My friends were naturally unprepared for such a step. A flourishing business does not usually change owners just in this way. Among the guests was a friend formerly connected with the McGraw-Hill Publishing Company. To him my words seemed an important piece of news. "What a Christmas gift!" he exclaimed. "This news will stir men. It should be broadcast. Let me be the first to congratulate you."

We had long had in mind the ultimate sharing of the business with our people; we had been dividing profits with them since 1912, had allotted some common stock to eighteen head men and women in 1920, and lately we had been thoroughly absorbed in working out the details for the final transfer. The possible significance of our act to the outside world had never occurred to us.

My friend left that Christmas Eve a very excited man.
