Ford Motor Company , 204 Mich. 459, 170 N.W. 668 (Mich. 1919) [1] is a case in which the Michigan Supreme Court held that Henry Ford had to operate the Ford Motor Company in the interests of its shareholders , rather than in a charitable manner for the benefit of his employees or customers.Founded as the Dodge Brothers Company machine shop by brothers Horace Elgin Dodge and John Francis Dodge in the early 1900s, Dodge was originally a supplier of parts and assemblies for Detroitbased automakers, most notably Ford, and began building complete automobiles under the Dodge Brothers brand in 1914, predating the founding of Chrysler Corporation.
