Henry Ford might have brought automobiles to the masses, but he wasn't eager to lift up everyone. The master of Michigan was a rabid anti-Semite.
Mr. Ford bought a newspaper- The Dearborn Independent- which ran his vicious screeds against the Jews. He ordered his dealers to provide a free subscription to the newspaper for everyone who bought a new Ford car. Aghast, the dealers would often use fake addresses to prevent the newspaper from being delivered to Jewish customers.
