We’re Living in the World Henry Ford Built
In 1915, the Ford Motor Company published a creepy little booklet called “Helpful Hints and Advice to Employes,” which outlined the expectations the company had for its workers. These did not relate to how well they built cars. The booklet explained that the company’s employees were expected to maintain certain standards on and off the job, and told them everything from what kind of houses they should live in to how they ought to raise their children.
