One of the most important decisions that Henry Ford made early in his career was to identify talented individuals who could bring his vision for a universal car for the masses to reality. Each man pictured here was, in one way or another, directly responsible for Ford Motor Company's success, and failures, in the years leading up to World War II. P. E. Martin and Charles Sorensen were the hard-driving production and manufacturing heads that ensured Ford's plants operated at peak levels and achieved record production levels in the mid-1920s. B. J. Craig, as treasurer and secretary, was responsible for the hundreds of millions of dollars that funded all of Ford's operations. A. M. Wibel managed purchasing of everything from cotter pins and lubrication oil to coal mines and freighters at Ford's River Rouge plant, Highland Park, and ultimately for Ford operations worldwide. Raymond Dahlinger managed hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland for Henry Ford and Ford Motor Company. Left to right: P.E. (Peter Edmund) Martin, Vice President in charge of Manufacturing; B.J.
