^tTtJ^^^^^^^^^ SEPTEMBER SSE Stt' . ^---------- Development otftrdCdfCqtted Biggest Achievement Bt stry ? The Ford Motor company was twenty years older oh June 16. : . a And this birthday anniversary firfds it enjoying the greatest prosperity m its history, and engaged in carrying out an expansion program of enormous magni- tude, necessary to brinjr manufacture up to meet the ever increasing demand tor JFbrd products. In the score of years which have passed since its incorporation on June 10, ivw, the growth of the company has been amazingly rapid and now its activities extend to nearly every country on the globe and the Ford car is in use in prac- tically every land on earth. .... ^The capital originally subscribed m the company was $100,000 of which only $28,000 in cash was actually paid into thetreasury. Among the twelve stock- holders with the company in its infancy Henry Ford held 25 percent of the stock. First Record Breaker Ford "sold" his car to the public at the very start by practical demonstration for he piloted the first Ford racer him- self and won race >fter race;in aH parts of the country. Driving old *m, on an ice track at Baltimore Bay, Mien., he was the first to break the mile-a-mm- ute record. '. " .... . In 1907 Mr. Ford acquired additional stock sufficient to bring his holdings in the company up to 58% per cent. Development of the company sinee 1908 when the Model "T" Ford car was first placed on the market has been marked by unusual success until now it occupies the foremost position m the industry. Fosters Higher Wages In 1913, Mr. Ford set a new standard for the industrial world when he an- nounced his now famous $5 a day min- imum wage and the $10,000,00 profit- sharing plan, a move that gajnedLJiinL international fame. Many will remember, too, a year or so later when announcement was made that if sales went to a certain figure every Ford purchaser would receive a rebate. The sales passed the figure and checks went out by the hundreds of thousands. When in 1919 Edsel B. Ford assumed the presidency, his father turned over to him all of the responsibility of that of- fice and he has taken an important part in all developments of the company since that time. Upon becoming president, Edsel Ford purchased the remaining 41 & per cent held by outside stockholders and on July 9, 1919, the company was reor- ganized under the laws of Delaware for an authorized capitalization of $100,000- JD0O. Car for Average People In his ambition to do the greatest amount of good for the largest number of people, Henry Ford always has kept the Ford car within the reach 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 company. And only recently the inauguration of the Ford Weekly Pur- , chase Plan has opened the way to auto-' fflnhiV nwnf>rship^£ot^^MMiitifmal--tllit- sent them to air Parts of the world and SSre than 6^0O4Bb are now m use m the United States alone. . .
