MONDAY AFTERNOON. JUNE 25, 1923. ’
20TH BIRTHDAY IS
OBSERVED B( FORD
World’s Greatest Automobile
Manufacturing Concern Was
20 Years Old June 16
“The Ford Motor Company was
20 years old June 16, and this
birthday anniversary finds it en
joying the greatest prosperity in
its history and engaged in carry
ing out an expansion program of
enormous magnitude, necessary to
bring manufacture up to meet the
over increasing demand for Ford
Products,” says Evans Mathis,
manager Americus Auto Co.
“In the score of years which
•which have passed since
foration on June 16, 1903, the
growth of the company has been
amazingly rapid. The capital
originally subscribed in the compa
ny was SIOO,OOO of whi h only
$28,000 in cash was actually paid
into the treasury. Among the
twelve stock-holders with the com
pany in its infancy Henry Ford
held 25 per cent of the stock.
“In 1913, Mr. Ford set a new
standard for the . industrial world
when he announced his now fa
mous $5 a day minimum wage and
the $10,000,000 profit-sharing plan
a move that gained him interna
tional fame.
“In him ambition to do the
greatest amount of good for the
largest number of people, Henry
Ford always has kept the Ford car
within rqach of the person of
average means.
“Last October the price of Ford
cars was again reduced bringing
the various types to the lowest
level in the history of the compa
ny. And only recently the inaug
uration of the Ford,Weekly Pur
chase Plan has opened the way to
automobile ownership for addi
tional millions of people who can
now buy Fords on weekly pay
ments as low as $5.
“The first car manufactured by
the Ford Motor Company was on
the road in Juife and s<('.l the
early part of July, 1903. In the
initial year, 1903-1904, the compa
ny produced 1,708 cars and each
year has been a steady expansion
until in 1922 production totaled
1,351,333 and this year will pass
the 1,500,000 mark, a figure which
it is estimated will equal if not ex
ceed the combined output of all
other automobile companies in the
United States.
“Since its start the company has
produced more than 7,750,000
Fords and sent them to all parts of
the world, and more than 6,000,-
000 are now in use in the United
States alone.
“Manufacturing methods of the
Ford Motor Company have been
and remain the marvel of engin
eering experts of the world. All
are based on the most scientific
principles, distinctly individual in
their advanced steps and they
bring quality production* with high
•quality coming automatically in the
'process. k
I “There are thirty-four branches
of the Ford Motor Company in the
United States of which twenty
eight are assembling plants. Those
have all been improved and en
larged within the last year and to
day are producing cars and trucks
at the rate of 6,700 every eight
hour woiking day. There are more
than 9,000 Ford dealers in the
country and over 15,000 authorized
Ford Service Stations, making a
total of more than 24,000 points
of contact with the motoring pub
lic.
“The Fordson Tractor was
brought out in 1917, during which
year 254 were produced. It was
developed after years of work and
experiment by Henry Ford and his
engineers and presents a most
sturdy and dependable power
plant, easy and economical in
operation. Like other Ford pro
ducts, it met with almost instant
success and at present the Ford
son plant at River Rouge is pro
ducing tractors at the rate of 500
a day to keep pace with the grow
ing demands.”
