One more historic note on Fordson. Old Henry wanted to build tractors
under his Ford name, but another enterprising entrepreneur who
understood well the value of name recognition, had decided to
capitalize on the well known Ford name. He had a prominent employee
named Ford, so he used that as an excuse to name his outfit the Ford
Tractor Company. Henry couldn't overcome an already existing company.
so went with Fordson, as he and his son were in it together.
