True stories of the world we live in 12— "THE MAN WHO
WOULDN'T GIVE UP'
Ralph Ewart Ford began life as a salesman and spent the whole of his twenties working for other people. When he realised that there was not much of a future in this he branched out on his own-the year before the great depression swept across the world-with the minute capital of twenty-five pounds. Today his company has captured seventy-five per cent of the world market in one particular line. This programme dramatises his long and bitter struggle to achieve success.
Script by Stephen Grenfell
Production by Joe Burroughi
