went pinwheeling down steep slope

1t seemed pretty tough on the
horses, as well as the occupant of
the carriage. Audiences gasp-but
snickers would be more appropriate.
This was processed shot wherein

IT HAS never occurred before in automo-

make, bearing one name, have been
manufactured under one management.
The 25,ooo,oooth Ford car rolled off the
Ford Rouge Plant production line on
January 18, 1887.
Is million cars since 1903 -. more
than one-thitd of all the cars ever built
80. enough cars to transport the entire
population of the United States.
The figures represent remarkable con-
tribution to the social welfare, the indus
trial stability and the general progress Of
our country.
People respect Ford efficiency. They
know Ford uses fine materials, the best
workmanship at good wages, the most
exact precision measurements. They

know these things are passed along to
purchasers in the form Of extra value
Naturally, they like to do business with
such company. That is why it has been
required to produce IS million cars.
Naturally, too, they expect more of a
Ford car, more this year than last year
more each year than the year before.
They have every right to. The experience
gained in building 100000 cars enables
Ford to produce today really superb
motor car at a really low price-with the
beauty, comfort, safety and performance
of much more expensive cars.
