Charles Henry Davis (businessman)

Ford paid a fixed price for every railcar of coal plus a royalty on each vehicle he manufactured.

Davis founded the National Highway Association (NHA) in 1911 with the motto "Good Roads Everywhere!"

NHA created pamphlets and maps of the highway system in the country, which totaled upwards of 50,000 miles worth of road.

NHA developed concepts for connecting highway systems with their own team of engineers.

Davis donated money to Columbia University in 1911 to fund the founding of a graduate program focused on highway engineering.

Davis raised $2 million to fund the creation of a statue of Churchill which would reside on the Dover Cliffs.
