Description

Henry Ford speaks in Thomas Edison's ear. Original caption: "Partially deaf from boyhood as the result of being lifted by his ears, Edison listened closely here in 1928 to Henry Ford. The friendship of the two men began at their first meeting on August 12, 1896. Edison heartily endorsed Ford's experimental work with the gasoline engine and encouraged him to continue.
