Hey (again) DML,
<snip> If you get this post before 10:30 ET, Tune your Boob Tube to A&E!
America's
Castles is profiling Henry Ford & then John Dodge (GOD!)<snip>
Ok...It was a bit of a letdown...Cuz both John (55) & Horace (52) Dodge died
within 11 months of each other in an influenza epidemic during the
1920s...But there WERE some interesting facts given....The Dodge brothers
actually made parts for Henry Ford's cars in their machine shop & they
designined his original assembly line! They finally realized that they
oughta get into the automotive market themselves & in 1914 THE DODGE was
born! They offered a car which filled a void in the automobile market
between the Ford economy priced cars & the Rolls Royce more expensive
models...
Today's history lesson has ended...You're all exempt fom the Final...
