I will build a motor car for the great multitude...it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces ...When I'm through, everybody will be able to afford one, and everyone will have one. The horse will have disappeared from our highways, the automobile will be taken for granted... and we will give a large number of men employment at good wages."

Well, thanks. The extra word appears in many places on the Internet, and even in some printed books. However, I accept that you must know the right variation.

it is, "I will build a car for the great multitude..." not "I will build a motor car for the great multitude..." just for the other people to know

It sure speaks of its time... get rid of the darn horse, and give working MEN good jobs. Things have changed and are changing once again, 100 years later!
