Warren
G
.
Harding
in
1923
.
Edison
(1847-1931)
was
born
in
Milan
,
Ohio
and
is
known
for his
many
inventions
,
including
the
phonograph
and the
light
bulb
.
Firestone
(1868-1938)
was
born
in
Columbiana
County
,
Ohio
and
began
to
manufacture
rubber
tires
in
1896
. He
founded
the
Firestone
Tire
&
Rubber
Company
in
1900
and
moved
it
to
Akron
,
Ohio
.
Ford
(1863-1947)
was
born
in
Greenfield
,
Michigan
and
worked
with the
Edison
Company
from
1890
to
1899
,
when
he
founded
the
Detroit
Automobile
Company
in
Detroit
,
Michigan
.
Ford
later
bought
out
his
associates
and
reincorporated
as the
Ford
Motor
Company
in
1903
; the
company
became
the
largest
automobile
manufacturer
in the
world
in the
early
part
of the
twentieth
century
.
Harding
(1865-1923)
was
born
in
Corsica
(now
called
Blooming
Grove)
, a
small
town
in
Morrow
County
,
Ohio
.
Harding
graduated
from
Ohio
Central
College
in
Iberia
at the
age
of
sixteen
. His
family
moved
to
Marion
,
where
Harding
taught
school
and
briefly
studied
law
. He
worked
occasionally
as a
reporter
for a
local
paper
before
buying
the
Marion
Star
in
1884
.
Within
five
years
, the
Star
was
one
of the
most
successful
small-town
newspapers
in the
state
.
Harding
became
popular
as the
leader
of the
Citizen's
Coronet
Band
,
which
played
at
political
rallies
, and for his
skill
as an
orator
.
Willing
to
follow
the
lead
of
political
bosses
,
Harding
advanced
rapidly
in
Ohio
politics
,
serving
as
state
senator
and
lieutenant
governor
. In
1914
Harding
was
elected
to the
U
.
S
.
Senate
. He
won
the
presidency
with
sixty
percent
of the
popular
vote
,
promising
a "
return
to
normalcy
"
following
the
wave
of
reforms
begun
during
Theodore
Roosevelt's
administration
. As
president
,
Harding
appointed
several
friends
to
federal
office
who
proved
untrustworthy
. His
administration
was
tainted
by
corruption
, and the
infamous
"
Teapot
Dome
"
scandal
(in
which
Harding's
Secretary
of the
Interior
leased
a
U.S
.
petroleum
reserve
to a
private
oil
company)
nearly
destroyed
his
presidency
.
After
he
died
in
office
in
August
1923
,
other
scandals
were
uncovered
,
further
tarnishing
Harding's
reputation
.
