1924 Ford Motor Company Institutional Message Advertising Campaign, "Monumental Enterprise"

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. Here the Rouge plant's power house and blast furnaces, serve as backdrop to the storage bins alongside the plant's boat slip.
