Henry Ford and people like him built empires, by providing quality and value.  Henry was also smart enough to know if he provided jobs, folks could buy his cars.  He employed countless US craftsman, building cars, parts and a high standard of living.  While the names of domestic manufacturers may still be in use, their concern for US jobs is far less apparent.
