industry. The modern printing of Today and Tomorrow features an

Taiichi Ohno acknowledged that a key stimulus to JIT was his close
reading of this book. Today, these same ideas are re-emerging to
revitalize American industry in new ways. "I, for one, am in awe of
Ford's greatness. I believe Ford was a born rationalist -- and I
feel more so every time I read his writings. He had a deliberate
and scientific way of thinking about industry in America. For
example, on the issues of standardization and the nature of waste
in business, Ford's perception of things was orthodox and
universal."- Taiichi Ohno
Biography. "A gripping book...Like Tosca, Charles Henri Ford has
lived for art and for love. In his scintillating diary, Ford
presents his extended visits to war-torn France and Italy and his
friendships with Cocteau, Balanchine, Dali, Paul Bowles, Djuna
Barnes, Gertrude Stein, Ned Rarem, Jean Genet, Truman Capote,
Tennessee Williams and many other luminaries" - Edmund White."When
he began publishing in 1929, Ford was unique: ...In
his...magazines, Blues and View, he introduced and encouraged
surrealism while it passed into the spirit of hundreds of American
writers. In his own work he creates the wonder, the wit, and the
erotic beauty that have made surrealism the most significant of all
modern influences upon poetry" - Edward B. Germain.
1920. This volume contains a series of articles reprinted from
articles appearing in 'The Dearborn Independent' from May 22 to
October 2, 1920. "This little book is the partial record of an
investigation of the Jewish Question. It is printed to enable
readers to inform themselves on the data published in 'The Dearborn
Independent' prior to October 1, 1920. The motive of this work is
simply a desire to make facts known to the people. Other motives
have been ascribed to it. But the motive of prejudice or any form
of antagonism is hardly strong enough to support such an
investigation as this. Moreover, had an unworthy motive existed,
some sign of it would inevitably appear in the work itself. We
confidently call the reader to witness that the tone of these
articles is all that it should be." These articles are worthy of
reproduction due to their historical value. In NO WAY IS THE
PUBLISHER ANTI-SEMITIC. As a religious and philosophical publisher,
we make old and scarce works available to the modern
reader-regardless of their position on any certain topic. For the
Jewish zealots who are outraged at this publication, consider that
if anything stated herein is true, then the Jewish people must live
with their history without remaking it or pretending it to be
something different than what is the actual truth. If these
articles are false and derogatory, then let the facts speak for
themselves and condemn the editors of these articles. The truth
will eventually surface to the benefit of both the Jewish zealot
and those who would criticize the great Jewish people. Certainly in
the twenty-first century, an advanced society can debate ideas on
their own merit and prove any philosophy to be true or false
without fanaticism from either side. No race or religion is above
criticism. Conversely, no race or religion is worthy of
condemnation and excoriation. It is not the words in a book that
make or demean a people-only their actions. Every person and every
race has their high and low moments. Only a fair minded soul can
see the good in all peoples everywhere. Hopefully, you the reader,
are such a soul. This book contains important historical
information and as such, it is herewith reprinted.

Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 - April 7, 1947) was an American
industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor
of the development of the assembly line technique of mass
production. Contrary to popular belief, Ford did not invent the
automobile nor did he invent the assembly line. Ford however was
the first to develop and manufacture the first automobile that many
middle class Americans could afford to buy. In doing so, Ford
converted the automobile from a relatively unknown invention into
an innovation that would profoundly impact the landscape of the
twentieth century. His introduction of the Model T automobile
revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of
the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known
people in the world. He is credited with "Fordism" mass production
of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers. Ford had
a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. His intense
commitment to systematically lowering costs resulted in many
technical and business innovations, including a franchise system
that put dealerships throughout most of North America and in major
cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the
Ford Foundation and arranged for his family to control the company
permanently.
