1924 Ford Motor Company Institutional Message Advertising Campaign, "Opening the Highways to All Mankind"

01

Artifact Overview

In 1924-25 the Ford Motor Company ran a series of sixteen dramatic advertisements in the Saturday Evening Post and Country Gentleman magazines. Rather than promoting the Model T specifically, the ads aimed to convey the company's scale and philosophy. The final ad of the series emphasizes that the company is a transformative, service oriented, and mission-based organization -- optimistic and future-focused.
