Dearborn Independent

The Dearborn Independent, also known as The Ford International Weekly, was a weekly newspaper established in 1901, and published by Henry Ford from 1919 through 1927. At its height during the mid-1920s it claimed a circulation of between 700,000 and 900,000. This would have made it second only to The New York Times in terms of national readership. Such substantial readership numbers at the time resulted in part due to a quota system for promotion imposed on all Ford dealers.
