Henry Ford’s
contribution to change the scenario of America is invaluable. He was an apt symbol of
transition from an agricultural to an industrial America. When young Henry left his home
in 1879 for Detroit, only two out of eight Americans lived in cities, when he died in
1947, the proportion was five out of eight. Once he realized the tremendous role, he and
his Model T automobile had played in bringing about this change, he wanted nothing more
than to reverse it, or at least to recapture the rural values.
