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.

SetHenry Ford: Village Industries
- 9 Artifacts
In the 1920s and '30s, Henry Ford set up small-scale factories to supply Ford with needed tools and vehicle parts. He scattered these "Village Industries" throughout southeast Michigan usually along rivers. Ford employed local residents -- ideally farmers who could maintain their farms when not working at the factory. This map shows the factories Ford had created by 1942.
