This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed in a 1944 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
There and then…the assembly line was born
Early in 1913, Henry Ford had
his technicians try a new
production idea which had come
to him as he inspected a watch
factory. Instead of having a
single group of men make the entire
assembly on each flywheel
magneto, the unit was moved
from one worker to another. The
result was a 50% saving in time!
“Why not test this idea on the
whole chassis?" Mr. Ford next
suggested. So now, along elevated
greased rails, each chassis
was being pushed by hand as
workers added the various parts
in sequence. There and then, the
assembly line was born!
A chain-driven line was soon
operating. And the 14 hours once
required for a chassis assembly
were cut to 1 hour, 33 minutes.
Before 1913 ended, over 100,000
Ford cars had been built, breaking
all records for the industry.
This achievement meant more
than a saving in time, more than
creating new methods for all industry.
To Mr. Ford and his
associates, this was another step
to make life easier for millions.
From the first, the assembly
line technique of production eased
working conditions. Along with
other modern advances, it helped
to increase the life span of workers.
At Ford, it soon made possible
the 8-hour day. And with
unskilled labor in many places
earning as little as $1 a day, Ford
basic pay was raised to $5.
The assembly line also brought
price reductions on Ford cars,
placing them within reach of more
people. Sharing production savings
with the public is fundamental
with Ford.
Today, in the creation of equipment
vital to victory, Ford men
continue their search for better
ways of doing things. What they
are learning is bound to be reflected
in the improved Ford
