With one foot on the land,
and one in industry,
America is safe."
HENRY FORD
Factory in a Lloadov
A dozen small Ford plants dot tlic
fields and meadows within fifty
miles of Deai ioi n. We call tlicm tlie
"village industries." Tlieir windows
are bright in the sun, and their
wheels turn to the harnessed energy
of once lazy streams.
Many of their workers arc farm
ers who love fine machinery. After
harvest and before grccn-up, these
farmer-workmen park their cars in
neat rows beside the plants. Inside,
with the newest, most modern ma
chines, they build Ford parts.
With the money earned, they buy
that fertile forty just east of the pas
ture lot families go to school
houses grow wings barns are filled
with provender and sheds with back
saving machinery.
These Ford families have one
fool on the land and one in industry.
They raise food for themselves and
feel secure. They know that if slack
times come, farm and garden will
still provide employment.
Life is pleasant in the villages.
Working conditions are almost ideal.
Men do better work and are proud
of tlieir contribution to Ford quality.
It shows up in the fine performance
and all-around dependability of the
1939 Ford cars.
