"Helpful Hints and Advice to Ford Employes," 1915

Summary

Part of Henry Ford's attempt to Americanize immigrant workers, this book describes the code of good conduct that Ford expected of his workers and their families -- including suggestions for appropriate housing. In fact, as soon as white auto workers could afford it, they happily purchased one of the new bungalows located away from the noisy, grimy factory.
