1924 Ford Motor Company Institutional Message Advertising Campaign, "Prodigies of Power"

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 sculptural bulk of a steam turbine -- Ford-designed and Ford-built -- makes a convincing case for the company's energy independence.
