Why did the US economy boom in the 1920’s?

There were several reasons why the US economy boomed in the 1920’s.However one of the main reasons was the mass production of Ford cars. This helped the US economy for the reason being that to produce a car several materials are needed steel, glass etc. With every car made more materials were used and more needed therefore more people were employed. This was especially important when the ‘magic belt’ was brought in since every person was assigned to one small job. This helped the US economy grow since before Ford cars were produced people could not afford automobiles, yet when the Ford automobiles were made at a small price a great deal of people purchased them this made companies such as listed before (steel, glass etc) gain more money and more people getting jobs meaning that more people were able to afford luxurious goods and basic needs.
