Dear Gabby
Tuesday, December 17, 2013
Gabby,
What is going on these days? The mother-in-law and her friends showed up at the house last weekend for Sunday dinner dressed like a gaggle of dance hall floozies! They need to get with it and be more modern. Seriously, what should these gals be wearing in the jazz age?

Henry Ford’s success can be attributed, in part, to his interaction with Henry Leland. Henry Leland’s participation in the early Henry Ford Company led to Mr. Ford leaving his company and starting the Ford Motorcar Company.

A.P. Brush and Henry Ford
Wednesday, June 19, 2013
A. P. Brush and Henry Ford met in the early days of the development of the automobile. As mentioned before, each shared the common goal of delivering the $500 car to the public. Each was successful in meeting their goals but the path was difficult at best.
Henry’s early ventures into car production were not successful but led to Mr. Brush’s success. Likewise, Ford’s success would be the harbinger of Brush’s downfall. On to the details...
