BTW,,for your viewing pleasure I suggest you mute the volume,,the cheesy film reel noise gets old fast. HRP

It's amazing at what all ol Henry had his hands in.... Just to produce cars. And $$$

 

Wow, thanks HRP, what a brilliant find and to share it with us for Xmas.
Henry sure had his hand in every part of the supply chain to make his cars - rubber plantations in the tropics for tyres, iron ore and coal mines to make his own cast iron and steel, forests for timber for bodies, silica for glass - you name it, he developed it and gave jobs to hundreds of thousands of people.
He paid them well over minimum wage of the day - he was happy to share his wealth (but on his terms only) - his plan was that his employees could buy his cars too.
What an awesome visionary and where would the world be today without him? He was one of a small handful of people who have changed the world for the better.
Thanks again, and Merry Christmas to all.

 

Actually ... Henry Ford was the four/runner of Sam Walton.

Walmart does a LOT of the same things in their business plan. It is just a different line of products and services ...

 

Like most things you find on the interweb,,looking for one thing and find something else. HRP

 

Thanks for sharing HRP. Pretty cool seeing them check the tolerances on the cranks and camshafts

 

Thanks, Once again you have come up with yet some more great stuff.

 

That is a myth. He paid more than prevailing wages to reduce employee turnover. Had nothing to do with them being able to purchase vehicles.
