Jonathan Sweet - Remodeling Notes


Jay Sweet
As senior editor of Professional Remodeler, a lot of information crosses my desk. This blog will be a chance to share some of that with you, with an immediacy not possible with a monthly magazine. It's also your chance to tell me what you think about what I have to say. Whether you agree or disagree, I hope you won't be shy.

Alternate Influentials #5-Henry Ford

Just to recap: This week I'm posting the "Alternate Influentials," to go with our February cover story. (Read my first blog about it here. Read about the first Alternate here, the second here, the third here and No. 4 here.)

In 1925, Ford introduced the first factory-assembled pickup truck, a staple of the remodeling industry. Besides that, as the first mass-producer of automobiles, his company helped to make possible the modern suburb.

Why he didn't make the list:Although Ford's impact is undeniable, he just wasn't one of the 10 most influential. Like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, a top 20 list probably would have included him.
