- Rotary Press, Used to Print the Dearborn Independent - This printing press was used to print <em>The Dearborn Independent</em>. Henry Ford purchased the weekly newspaper and published it under his name from 1919 to 1927. The <em>Independent</em> served as a forum for Ford's views, free from other media outlets that had attacked his work and values and were outside his control. <em>The Dearborn Independent</em> covered world events, business and economic news, and fiction from noted authors. Sadly, it also served as an outlet for Ford's anti-Semitic sentiments. Between 1920 and 1922, the paper ran a series of front-page articles that denounced all things Jewish. Even after this series, many articles contained anti-Jewish language. Though Ford later apologized and printed a retraction, these notoriously anti-Semitic editorials and articles forever tarnished the influential automaker's reputation.
