Might be apocryphal, maybe not.

But Henry Ford started doing a series of articles in his Dear born Independent, slamming Jews in Hollywood, until a group of movie producers showed him some safety films of car accidents, and anyone could see the cars in those accident films were Fords.

The "Jews in Hollywood," series in the Independent stopped the same day.
