THE FORD WAT OF DOING BUSINESS The Ford Motor Company was founded by a working-man for working-men. Its present officers began as employees of the Company. It was the first company to pay a minimum wage, beginning in 1914, at the then astounding figure of ?5 a day. That was double the prevailing wage of the time. The Ford minimum is now $6 a day for all employees engaged in pro duction work. And from that, the wages rise to ?10.80 a day, with the average wage ?7.25, exclusive of salaried employees. The Ford Motor Com pany wu the first Urge company to establish the 8-hour day?also in 1914. And the 40-hour week was inaugurated by the Ford Motor Company in 1926, years before any such laws existed. The Ford Motor Com pany employs men with out regard to race, creed or color. 11 is common knowledge that working conditions in the Ford shops are the best that science and constant care can make them. A square deal, a just wage and stabilized employment for a large proportion of our employees ? and as fully stabi lized for all as conditions will permit ? m men to retain their personal In consequence of these policies the Ford Motor Company has one of the finest bodies of employees in the world. The 1larger proportion are mature men of long Mr vice with die Company?sober, decent family men. Hundreds of them have been with the Company for more than 25 years ? thousands for more than 15 years. Their health record, home owner ship and citizenship records are good. All this is reflected in Ford products, whether cars, trucks or tractors. The work is honestly done. Materials are the best that can be made or procured. Less profit to the Company and more value to the customer is known throughout the motoring world as "Ford's way of doing business." Ford Motor Company was the first to malie a motor car within the means of the average family?quitting the manufacture of what was then the largest telling model in the world to do so. Its chosen field in ail inc JU years since usi time has been the average American family ? for which it has consistently provided car facilities which formerly only the wealthy could buy. Mt is the policy of the Ford Motor Com pany to share the benefits of advanced methods and management with workers and public alike. Increased wages and employment over a period of many years have resulted in A 300 per cent increase in the built-in value of the Pord car end a 73 per cent reduction m its price. Henry Ford and Edsel Ford keep daily per sonal touch with all phases of Ford manu facture. In a conference with his staff, Henry Ford often says: "Go ahead?I'll sit here and represent the public."
