Who is this?

Player #817902, He didn't Support Hitler,,,, But he did Own Factories in Germany,,, Great Britain and Australia. He was Antisemitic, The Dodge Brothers were the Key Component behind the Model T. when he found out? he wanted them FIRED.(they were Jewish) The Dodge's were major stock holders of Ford! Henry had to buy them out at a couple of $100,000. Which Dodge started their own Company.

Henry Ford was first to assembly cars with the Assembly Line Method.

Player. Ty, Although not nice, anti-semitism was, as well as racism, an acceptable practice THEN. We have come farther in humanity to know that those practices are NOW unacceptable.

my dad restored a few old Ford's,his first was a 1935 Ford Pick up with a V-8 engine

Henry Ford tried to corner the rubber market to facilitate cheap tires for his cars. He built a company town called Fordlandia in the Amazon to house workers for a rubber plantation. Unbelievably, he failed to learn about the trees, planted them in orchard-type rows, and disease spread easily from tree to tree. The endeavor failed, but Fordlandia still stands in the jungle.

RockNRollMama82, do we?

jcnewsham, Thank You for pointing that out! & I understand he got the idea from a comment his Mom made! When she went to visit his factory! & As far as I know! As of today still in production!

RockNRollMama82, post Shakespeare, we can only ascribe /some/ pre-Modern immorality to the amorality of ignorance.

Taranchalanche, unfortunately, back during that time, racism was an acceptable practice. We know better now.

Although a bit on the thin side, I always thought of him as handsome. Love his eyes and the mind that worked behind them.

Player. Ty, Ford started a town, for the exclusive production of rubber, down in South America. He ran it like a Tyrant, & hired people that didn't know how to grow rubber trees. The town failed, & is now standing, Abandoned...

Player #817902, yes, my father told us this. Would never ever consider owning a Ford.
