1924 Ford Motor Company Institutional Message Advertising Campaign, "For the People and Posterity"
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. At the heart of this ad is a notion dear to modern environmentalists -- and long valued by farmers -- a denial of the very idea of "waste."
