Henry Ford was very important to the time period of the Roaring 20’s. He was known for creating the automobile and the assembly line. He was also known for being the seed that created more businesses. The automobile was one of the symbols of the 1920’s. It is still used today and as always is great for transportation. Ford was the first one to invent the automobile and he did a great job with it. Another invention of Ford was the assembly line. The assembly line makes car making easier, and is also used in other manufacturing industries. If done without the assembly line a car can take 12 hours to successfully make. With the assembly line it brought the car making process to 1½ hours. This made car prices drop, so cars were more available to everyone. Lastly, Ford was known for being the “seed” of creating more businesses. Cars led to assembly lines, assembly lines led to highways and travelers. Cars needed gas, and travelers needed food and a place to sleep. This formed gas stations, roadside restaurants’, and cabins got their start. The theme that Ford represents is Theme 1: The Growth of Celebrity. Ford was a great inventor and his inventions brought him fame. When the automobile was invented the whole world knew and the assembly line was not just made by anyone, it was made by Henry Ford (743, 1).
