re: #281 JOE 🥓

That’s why Dad would never buy a Ford. He never forgave the company whose founder published shit like “The International Jew”.

As I understand it, Henry Ford had a serious personal issue with Jews in the form of bankers. He was a self-made man and ran his company as he saw fit, but in 1927-28 he rand into financial difficulties over retooling his factories from Model T to Model A.

Basically due to his personal meddling, the Model T ended before the Model A production lines were ready to roll. So he had to turn to the banks for credit, and they, as was (and is) common business practice, wanted a share of his company as collateral, along with seats on the managing board.

That rankled him greatly.
