Edison, Ford, Firestone Radio Talk

Produced in conjunction with Light's Golden Jubilee, a campaign celebrating the 50th anniversary of Thomas Edison' invention of the commercially available electric light bulb, which ended with an event held in Dearborn, Michigan on October 21, 1929.

Later that evening, after the formal ceremonies of Lights Golden Jubilee were complete, Henry Ford, tire magnate Harvey Firestone, and Thomas Edison chatted during a short radio broadcast about the exciting opportunities that new, modern inventions offered young men during the late 1920s. Modern subtitles have been added to compensate for the primitive late 1920s sound recording of the event

This is the real Firestone. The same guy who's grandson is the Cheif Chairman of Ford Motor Co. Not the fake Japanese Bridgestown.

Their optimism may have seemed strange at that moment (it was days after the big stock market crash) but the longer view probably proved Henry Ford right...remember, that was a day before we'd ever seen television, the jet aircraft, space travel or the computer. Edison would also have fallen head over heels for a car like the Chevy Volt...

WOW! THANKS for posting this great video! That's the fist time I've heard Henry Ford's voice. Amazing.
