THIS FORD WAY
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
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 was the first large
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. It 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 —
ensble our men to retain their personal
independence.
In consequence of these policies the Ford
Motor Company has one of the finest
bodies of employees in the world. The
Henry lord and Edict
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
service with the 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 .o the Company and more value
to the customer is known
throughout the motoring
world as "Ford’s way of
doing business."
lord Motor Company
was the first to make a
motor car within the
means of the average
family—quitting the
manufacture of what was
then the largest selling
model in the world to
do so. Its chosen field in
all the 30 years since that
time has been the average American
family — for which it has consistently
provided car facilities which formerly
only the wealthy could buy.
It is the policy of the Ford Motor Com-
pany to share the benefits of advanced
methods and management with workers
snd 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 Ford car and a
75 per cent reduction in its price.
