Trivia: To be eligible for the five-dollar-a-day wage the Ford Motor Company began offering in 1914 employes had to have at least six months' service, be at least twenty-two years old (or be married, or be supporting a widowed mother or next-of-kin), and satisfy other conditions to respect Henry Ford's demand for a ``clean, sober, and industrious life''.
