1924 Ford Motor Company Institutional Message Advertising Campaign, "The Spirit of Progress"

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. Here the company proudly describes its new experimental engineering facility. Designed by Albert Kahn, its frontage incorporated Henry Ford's choice of inventors and scientists.
