  On Woodward Avenue in Highland Park, Michigan, a historical marker stands in front of a derelict industrial building. It reads, “Here at his Highland Park Plant, Henry Ford in 1913 began the mass production of automobiles on a moving assembly line...Mass production soon moved from here to all phases of American industry and set the pattern of abundance for 20th Century living.”
