if henry ford could do it, it could be done in bottling.oday, we have plants that can bottle thousands and thousands of bottles per minute. we show how that started and several steps progressing along the length. the industry changed in the early 1950's. the metal can came into wider use. canned vegetables and things like that appeared in grocery stores years earlier, but eventually, the idea of putting a soft drink in a can and selling it, instead of a bottle, appealed to people in the industry because a can was cheaper than glass bottles to manufacture and reproduce. by the mid-1960's, it was necessary for any bottling plant to have both canning and bottling lines. this building was too small for that. the decision was made to close this building and develop a new site with both canning and bottling for future use, which happened in the mid-1960's. when a visitor visits the dr. pepper museum, we hope they get a little bit of nostalgia about days gone by when everything in the world hadn't been invented yet, and that there were products th

and since the days of henry ford, the american auto industry kept its hand on the wheel and its footthe accelerator. detroit sold the big car. and american drivers bought it. high gas mileage didn't mean much to people used to 30 cent gas. 1973 changed that. war in the middle east and an oil embargo were followed by short supplies, gas lines, and skyrocketing prices. higher gas prices de datsuns and toyotas look a lot better. to some, importing japanese cars meant exporting american jobs. so why not just cut imports to save jobs? for drivers, cars are transportation. but in detroit, cars are jobs, good jobs, and lots of them. for auto workers, more imports would mean more layoffs, often permanent layoffs, and a search for new work by men and women who had spent their lives on the assembly line. president douglas fraser of the powerful auto workers union took the workers' case to washington. his members and their employers needed protection from their japanese competitors. protecting auto workers and the auto industry made little sense to believers in free trade, like economist robert
