Brand new cars for everyone
From the beginning Henry Ford fought with his financial backers. Their idea was to make
automobiles to order and obtain the highest price possible for each car. Ford wanted to find a way
to mass-produce cars and make them available to everyone.
He began experimenting in order to find the simplest mechanism possible, something with the
fewest parts, that would be easy to repair. At the same time he wanted a car that was rugged and
powerful. There should be nothing elegant about it; in fact, the uglier the better. It must look to
be no more than what it was: utilitarian.
Once he found the right design for such a car, Ford thought he could spend all his time and
effort not on improving the car but rather on different methods of producing it. If he turned out
the same car every year he could lower his costs and thus his price to the buyer. Eventually Ford
was able to manufacture just the car he wanted to. He called it the Model T.
Stockholders in his company began to complain bitterly when they realized he planned to lower
the price every year.
“But how will you make any money?” they asked.
“By selling more cars,” he told them. And that is exactly what he did.

Many Norwegians were shocked and wrote to the newspapers when Princess Anne — President
of the Save the Children Fund — was shown on television snubbing a five-year-old while visiting a
hospital nursery in Oslo at the weekend. But a Buckingham Palace spokesman said last night that
the impression gained was “totally untrue,” and was the result of the film being edited and
“taken out of context.”
The Princess, in Norway for a fund-raising day for a national children’s charity, appeared on
television on Sunday night. When five-year-old Oeyvind Stroem tried to shake hands with her, he
appeared to have been spurned. “No cuddle, not even a smile…” the Dagbladet newspaper
bannered on its front page.
The media said it received “thousands” of phone calls objecting to the Princess’s manner and
suggesting that she should “go home.” Norway’s largest circulating newspaper, Verdens Gang,
said that most of its callers asked how a Princess, who was a mother herself, could show such
coolness towards a child.
A spokesman for Princess Anne said last night “The television clip was taken out of context and
gave a totally untrue impression.”
