ABSTRACT
The years 1926, 1927, 1928, and 1929 until October might be labelled the high twenties or the golden twenties. It was a time of benign self-satisfaction. Even the suspense was delicious, and it would be a misunderstanding to think that it was all a matter of sober self-interest, that this man would again bring out the car that suited at the price that was right. Henry Ford was the epitome of everything in the world of everyday work that the citizens of the twenties admired. People had begun to buy slightly more expensive Chevrolets in increasing quantities and small cars to fit a softer style of living with which the better times of the high twenties allowed some people, for the first time, to indulge in. Typical settlements of the twenties were reached in the Kellogg-Briand Pact and in the final disposal of the Sacco-Vanzetti case.
