[DMCForum] Re: Henry Ford (Farrar)



Actually Henry Ford was something of an asshole (was openly
anti-semetic too). By the late 1920's his pig headedness nearly ruined
his industrial colossus. Company didn't catch back up to General
Motors until the 1980's.

George Romney accomplished in Kenosha Wisconsin.
