20 MILLIONTH
FORD COMING
TO KENNEWICK
Interesting Caravan to be
Here Early Next Month as
a Stop on Nation Wide
Tour; Dignitaries Ride

The Twenty Millionth Ford car,
symbolic of one mans contribu-
tion to world history and the de-
velopment of American industry,
will visit Kennewick, Tuesday,
October Is, from 11:25 to 1880,
enroute from Detroit on trans
continental tour.
Assembled in the presence of
Henry and Edsel Ford, the TWEEN
ty-Millionth Ford left the Ford
Motor Company's Rouge plant in
Dearborn, Mich, on April ID.
Following the brief ceremonies
at the final assembly line, and
with Henry Ford at the wheel,
the car was driven to Mr.. Ford's
home several miles away where
its meeting with the first Ford
produced in 1903 was recorded
for future generations in motion
pictures.
The caravan will come through
Pasco, where Mayor Gray will
join it, coming over to Kennewick
to pick up Mayor Anon, Chief of
Police Fl. H. DeHaven, and Editor
Reed, all of whom will be lunch
con guests of the Ford Motor. Co.
The 20 cars in the caravan will

execute military manouevers and
other novelties, and the exhibit
ton should prove interesting to
all.
It's tour of the country COM
pleted, the Twenty -Millionth Ford
will be returned to Greenfield
Village for preservation near the
first Ford-the Gasoline Buggy
in which Henry. Ford astonished
his neighbors and demoralized
horse traffic when he chugged
noisily through Detroit's cobbled
streets at the dizzy speed Of near
ly 20 miles an hour.
The first Ford built in 1893
and one of the first three auto
mobiles the world had ever seen
odd, indeed, by comparison with
its 1881 descendent, was mounted
on bicycle wheels and it's wheel
ing little 2-cylinder motor boasted
four horsepower. It's gasoline
tank held all of three gallons and
its uncomfortable seat accommo-
dated three people. In order to
drive it, Mr.. Ford was given a
verbal permit by the mayor, thus
becoming, it would seem, the
worlds first licensed chauffeur.
Such was the precursor of the
long line of Fords that have since
revolutionized the automotive in
dustry, made the automobile a
commonplace within the reach of
almost every family and tremen-
dously aided the development of
good roads systems.
In December, 1915, more than
100000 Fords had been pro-
duced. Thereafter as a result Of
Ford manufacturing methods and
processes now recognized as
standards of efficiency and econ
