Newspaper, "The Dearborn Independent, Ford Confidence Edition, Industrial Section," 1938

01

Artifact Overview

In 1938, the Dearborn Independent published a special section highlighting Ford Motor Company's successes during the Great Depression. The cover image represented a longtime interest of Henry Ford's: the mutual relationship between industry and agriculture. Henry Ford had owned the Dearborn Independent from 1919 to 1927, and he had used it to publish notoriously anti-Semitic editorials and articles.
