There is no service in simply setting up a machine or a plant and letting it turn out goods. The service extends into every detail of the business—design. production, the wages paid and the selling price. All are a part of the plan. The Ford Motor Company looks upon itself as charged with making an automobile that will meet the needs of millions of people and to provide it at a low price. That is its mission. That is its duty and its obliga- tion to the public. The search for better ways of doing things is never- ending. There is ceaseless, untiring effort to find new methods and new machines that will save steps and time in manufacturing. The Ford plants are, in reality, great mechanical university, dedicated to the advance- ment of industry. Many manufacturers come to see and share the progress made. The greatest progress comes by never standing still. Today’s methods, however successful, can never be taken as wholly right. They represent simply the best efforts of the moment. Tomorrow must bring an improvement in the methods Bon-Tone is for sale by all first class drug stores, \ of the day before. Hard work usually finds the way. Once it was thought impossible to cast gray iron by the endless chain method. All precedent was against it and every previous experiment had failed. Many men had shut their minds to the possibility of change. But fair prices to the public demanded that wasteful methods be eliminated in this operation. Finally the way was found and old methods gave place to new. A better way of making axle shafts saved thirty-six million dollars in four years. A new method of cutting crankcases reduced the cost by $500,000 a year. The perfection of a new machine saved a similar amount on such a little thing as one bolt. Then electric welding was developed to make many bolts unnecessary and to increase structural strength. Just a little while ago, an endless chain conveyor almost four miles long was installed at the Rouge plant. This conveyor has a daily capacity of 300,000 parts weighing more than 2,000,000 pounds. By substituting the tireless, unvarying machine for tasks formerly done by hand, it has made the day’s work easier for thousands of workers and saved time and money in the manu- facture of the car. All of these things are done in the interest and the service of the public—so that the benefits of reliable, economical transportation may be placed within the means of every one. Forp MoTOoR COMPANY
