#122 Alfred Sloan (General Motors)

We knew that the product had great potential. But I can hardly say that any of us realize the extent to which the automobile would transform the world. Reshape the entire economy. Call new industries into being and alter the pace and style of everyday life.

It was my personal satisfaction to be associated as a supplier or a competitor with a large number of the able citizens who created and contributed to the development of this industry. The names of a few of them are by their association with cars and companies. Stand for a new American legend. Mr. Ford.

Mr Buick. Mr Chevrolet. Mr. Olds, Mr. Chrysler. Involved with thousands of others in the destiny of this industry, They conducted the prosaic operations of running a business without being aware of the revolution they were making.
