This authentic, 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:
Needles and nails made his first watch tools…
The March wind rattled the
Bedroom window. But the
lantern on the floor gave a steady
glow to warm the boy's feet.
Then his head bent more closely
to the work. He nudged the balance
wheel-and life came back
into the timepiece.
Watch repairing was coming
easier to young Henry Ford. He
had started at 14 and the first
watch (today in his collection at
Dearborn) had been mended with
a shingle nail, a corset stay, arid
knitting needles. Now, after
school, he was neighborhood
watch repairer.
Everyone was enthusiastic
about his work, particularly because
he didn't charge for it. But
it wasn't money that Henry Ford
was interested in. Here was an
opportunity to learn by doing!
Years later, the watchmaker's
precision learned by Henry Ford
in those winter nights was to
guide the building of 30 million
cars and trucks. Moreover, it was
Mr. Ford'8 knowledge of watch-
making that prompted inauguration
of the assembly line. This
in turn brought shorter working
hours, increased wages, made life
easier for millions, and is now
speeding equipment to preserve
our American way of living.
New cars belong to the future.
But when tomorrow's Ford, Mercury
and Lincoln cars arrive, they
will reflect anew the watchmaker's
skill, the workmanship and engineering
resourcefulness that are
typical of Ford Motor Company.
As in the past, they will be
motorcars that are reliable and
economical, smart and comfortable.
And they will be priced
within the means of the greatest
number. For Mr. Ford has declared:
"The profits we are most
interested in are those the public
gets from using the things that
we produce. The only real profit
is the public benefit."
