The Highland Park Plant, shown here in 1913, is where Henry Ford would go on to perfect the assembly line process and institute the Five Dollar Day. In this photograph, the plant's exterior is teeming with some of its approximately 50,000 workers, while parked cars and a streetcar line show how these workers got to and from work.
