Advertisement for Ford-Ferguson Tractors, 1944

01

Artifact Overview

Henry Ford rarely missed an opportunity to promote his idea of farmers growing crops for industry. In this ad for a tractor, much of the copy talks about producing crops for industry. The case for the tractor is made obliquely through references to lowering the cost of production, but it is never actually mentioned in the text.
