Page Ten Friday, August- 20, 1943 THE JEWISH NEWS The Ford may Of Doing Business In Wartime Ford Methods Save Money And Materials MAY NOT be buying Ford cars today, but you are still a Ford customer. Through your government you are spending your tax dollars and investing in war bonds to buy the bombers, tanks, tank destroyers, jeeps and other material that Ford is building for Victory. Y ou Ford Methods Get The Job Done Quickly And the Ford organization is working for you on these war orders with the same high skill . . the same eye toward value and economy that governed production of over 30,000,000 peacetime Ford cars and trucks. It always was Ford policy to share the benefits of advanced methods with employees and customers alike. And that policy is still being an honest deal for your money. pursued.

Dies hold the plate during the process. Forty hours are saved on each M-4 medium tank and M-10 tank destroyer hull. methods, highly - skilled workers and high management efficiency. Output per employee is high even though thousands of inexperienced new workers—many of them women—have been placed in jobs which demand exacting skill. This quick development of proficiency has been made possible by comprehensive Ford training programs. Gun mount cradles f or tanks. formerlymade t r k of 27 parts, are made today of only three castings, reducing production time by two-thirds and facilitating repairs in the field. Equally important in boosting the output and lowering the costs are the working conditions in Ford shops. They are the best that science and constant care can make them. These factors, coupled with the company's long-known and practiced policy of high wage rates and fair dealing, create an ability and an attitude toward the job that is reflected in both the quality and quantity of production. Difficult Jobs Done By Ford Ford is producing gliders by mass production methods. Among Ford developments is a proc- ess of quick-drying the glue joints that cuts dry- ing time from nine hours to one hour on each wing. The jobs we have undertaken were brought to Ford because your government representatives knew we would do our best with them. Automotive production methods save time - in building war weapons. For instance, the Ford method ofdrying paint on jeeps byInfra-Red lamps now does the work in minutes instead of hours. ►Ford is a volume producer of heavy horsepower aircraft engines! This is the most exacting type of precision work. ► Today Ford is a foremost producer of Liberator bombers! ►Ford, in collaboration with government engineers, developed the amphibian jeep—builds this and the famous land jeep in huge quantities! ► Ford builds M-1 medium tanks, M-10 tank destroyers, the Ford tank engine ... and vast quantities of other war materials. ..;.• ''''' At Willow Run the top section of the bombar- dier's enclosure, formerly made in 13 hand-formed pieces —is now made in only 3 parts —saving 30 hours in the construction time of each bomber. ► Today Ford is in full production for Victory. The Ford Motor Company is operating more plant capacity, employing more people, turning out more goods than ever before. A horizontal engine lathe atWillowRun carry- ing Ford-designed equipment turns a gun-turret track for a B-24 Liberator. This machine saves time and holds the work to 1110,000 of an inch. What This Means To You Throughout forty years of service to the people Ford has built upon the solid foundation of practical ideals and technical "know how:' Today the Ford way of doing business means more value to you, our customers, and honestly-built materials for our sons at the front.
