1910 Ford Advertisement, "When Ford Speaks, the World Listens"

Summary

Early automobile advertisements, like this one from Ford Motor Company in 1910, tended to be straightforward. They generally focused on a car's reliability, ease of operation, and value. This ad for the Ford Model T boasts about the car's simple operation, light weight, strong construction, and -- in large boldface print -- low price.
