1924 Ford Motor Company Institutional Message Advertising Campaign, "An Industrial Epic"

Summary

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. This panoramic ad pulls together a broad sampling of the equipment, activities, and skills deployed within the Ford organization.
