The Triumph of an Idea: The Story of Henry Ford
(1934)
The advent of the automobile brought a clash of industrial ideas. Should the new vehicle be high-priced, obtainable only by the wealthy? Or should it be a vehicle of service to all humanity -- within reach of the pocketbook of EVERY family? Henry Ford's answer was the Model T, which became known as the "Universal Car" and of which he manufactured more than 15,000,000.
With the Ford car available to the millions, there sprang up a nation-wide demand for better roads. The Ford car proved a great SOCIAL factor in the development and growth of the American people. And the story of the founding, success, and growth of the Ford Motor Co., giving the world, as it did, its first great picture of modern mass production, is an industrial epic which this volume attempts to tell. It is a story of facts that less than a generation ago would have been a fairy tale.
The book is Illustrated by 52 photographs.

Henry Ford's Own Story
How a farmer boy rose to the power that goes with many millions,
yet never lost touch with humanity
(1917)
In January, 1914 America was startled by an announcement from the Ford factory that ten million dollars would be divided among the eighteen thousand employees as their share of the company s profits. Henry Ford was a multimillionaire, and America regarded him with awe.
Mankind must have its hero. The demand for him is more insistent than hunger, more inexorable than cold or fear. Before a race builds houses or prepares food with its hands, it creates in its mind that demigod, that superman, standing on a higher plane than the rest of humanity, more admirable, more powerful than the others. We must have him as a symbol of something greater than ourselves, to keep alive in us that faith in life which is threatened by our own experience of living.
