Found on facebook
Happy birthday to Henry Ford! It’s hard for us to imagine what life would be like without his contributions to American industry and business and his vision paved the way for many of the things we take for granted today. Here's a rare, early photo of him we found deep in our archives.

Net worth $188.1 billion, based on information from Forbes – February 2008.
Wonder who that belongs to now?

correct i did a study on henry ford at school and did a speech on him, the production line was the best thing he did and because of that it enabled "affordable cars"
Happy birthday!!!!
