The boom happened for a number of reasons such as the introduction of assembly lines, the start of radio, and an increased demand for radio sets, and increased share prices.

The single factor which contributed more to the boom than anything was the motor industry. Between 1918 and 1925, millions of jobs were created across America in car production. The car industry also boosted the petrol industry and 7 billion gallons of petrol was used up in people's cars every year. More roads had to be built, so the road building industry prospered. The leisure business profited because Americans could now affor

The three major producers in the car industry were Ford, Chrysler and General Motors. Ford was largest by far, having sold 23,000,000 Ford Model T's by 1930. These cars were nicknames "Tin Lizzies" and painted black to cut down on costs. Henry Ford once said "You can have a car in any colour, as long as it is black." Every production line had the capacity to produce one car every 3 minutes, and across America a car was built every 10 seconds.

There was, or course, a darker side to all of this. With more and more cars on the road, and more and more roads being built, the potential for accidents increased, as did the accident rate - dramatically. By 1930, 10,000,000,000 people were being killed on the roads every 5 seconds. (incorrect info)
