There is no philanthropy in this; we believe it to be good business judg sjatsaf When Henry Ford built bis Hist automobile, hv realized its ini|M>rtan<v as a factor In the progressive business life of America and he determined to build a motor car that would have the largest demand from ALL the people. He knew that such a car must be light in weight, reliable in construction, In? expensive to maintain and low in price. From that memorable day In 1903 when the FORD MOTOR company was organixed. there has been no halt in the'march of achievement. Ford has been "doing things" every day?working to one purpose: A ear for the poo> ple with a price tlic |>eoplo can |>ay. To i'i? 11 > achieve (his purpose FORI? cars must !>e made la such large qantltles that a small margin over the cost would produce a satisfactory pfifaH ' "ntinuous quantity demand could only be assured through quality. To establish this quality, there must be specialization and organization to accompany Inventive and mechanical genius. From the beginning ull FORI> efforts have been concern rated upon one model. Concentration Is a fixed principle with Mr. Ford, in order that per? fection of product may be had. And so, throughout the entire vast plant, in every department, every man and every machine is busy on the production of this model. The Ideal FORD Model 1 was attained In 1908. ItaOS that time there hag been little change in Its dealgn. but a continuous refinement in mechanical I rutruction. each year bringing the Model T nearer the perfect automobile. We are going to make FORl> Model T indefinitely periments have been made and paid for. mi the necessary ex. We have built and fully oqulp|>cd Jie most complete automobile manufac? turing plant in the world. All has been paid for from the profits earned on the business of previous years. We have no bond i*m> to pay off. Tliere are no mortgages upon our prop? erty We hsve no loan* to repay. We have no indebtness. We do business on the "spot cash" discount basis, purchasing in large quantities, command? ing UN lowest prices in the market of materials. Therefore we can well afford to sell the FORD Model T at the above low prices. The FORD Model 1 costs us the same to make this year as it did last year and there has been no sacrifice in quality because of the lower price. Our factory Is built for quautlty production, complete FORD car have been turned out in one day.) We can make ;;??,000 cars cheaper than wo can make ten thousand. Where labor cost* us one dollar, our overlo ad ex penses coat a dollar and a half. Our factory is built to profit from quantity production. Thus, by reducing overhead cost per can we will build 30,000 cars for 1911 at a less ratio of overhead cost per car than it did to make tin 20,000 cars In 1910?though materials and labor command the same price. I ? Our normal working force \n 4,000 meu, building 16,000 cars. Contrast this \sith factories employing from 7.000 to 12,000 men and making only 10,000 cars.

That la why the FORD Is now and will continue to be the favorite and fore? most among all family cars. The ford Model T is in every essential the same ford of 190?, 1909 and 1910, the only difference being an advance in the refinement of several im? portant features. The FORD Model T has met all the demands of city and country life. It is the family car of pleasure, the fast ear f..r the busy business men, the re? liable car day and night for the doctor, the dependable car on the farm.?all because of its being built to fill a practical mission?a car for the people, and at a price they care to pay. It is light in weight, yet of giant strength in me ? chanical construction,?a car of Vanadium stee l. Every strain-bearing metal part of a FORD ear is sclenttftoallj treated by passing through from three to four ove ns, equipped with electrical temper? ature devices. Not one vital part is thus treated, but e ach bit from crank shaft to fender iron. 1A FORD car may be lifted by Its four fenders.) Strains are considered?sudden shocks, torslonal strain and vibration. Plvotl are necessarily differently treated than shaft drivei because of the different strain to which they are subjected. The ford sUvl treating plant, perfected by llemw l ord, i*. the most com? plete in the world, possessing its own FORD steel analyses and quenching formula. The ford Model T oar weighs 1,100 pounda, poaeessJng one horsepower for each 5:1 pounds. The average touring car possesses one horsepower for each 70 pounds. A 1.200-pound car takes less power than a 2,000-pound ear; therefore, in the FORD the power goe s to carry the load and not the car. A 1,200-pound car will not wear out a tire as quickly as a 2,000-pound car. A 1,200-pound car passes over a rough road with scientifically proportioned tires much easts] ttnd qulckei than a car of 2.000 pounds. Two and two still make four?and the light weight FORD car is still unapproachable by any other car of the same capacity in the smallnoss of operating expenses. You will admit this is significant. ford ingenuity has originated brakes, with a breaking surface of 6.1 Square inches per pound weight; the average is 5.1 square inches. FORD tires are the largest per pound weight of any automobile?2.33 cubic inches of tire per pound. Hence the FORD tire economy. There is no necessity tor a FORD Model T to be equipped with extra tires. The ford magneto is an Integral part of the unit power plant. No bat? teries are used, no brushes, gearing, or moving w ires. Trouble makers have been banished. The whole is carried in the flywheel casing. A slight mo\? ment e>f the flywheel generates current enough to make a powerful spark. Vanadium steel cause's ford roimir bills to l>o lcs*. ford weight pro? portionate to the horsepower causes fuel bills to be smaller?tires to cost less. One gallon of gasoline carries a FORD twenty to twenty-live miles. One sot of tires carried a FORD from 5,000 to 10,000 miles. The quality of materials and strength of mechanical construction carry it safely over bad roads, while the lightness in weights me ans no limit of ser? vice for the power generated by the motor. ford ??OWNERS' SERVICE" means satisfaction during the life of your car.
