SetEdison and Ford: A Lasting Friendship
- 19 Artifacts
Thomas Edison was both a mentor and a friend to Henry Ford. While this photograph, taken in 1925, suggests the notion of Ford whispering something to Edison, reality was quite the opposite. From childhood, Edison experienced hearing loss that advanced with age. For Edison to hear him, Ford spoke loudly and directly into the inventor's ear.
