If, on some day when business was not rushing, the general manager, Gordon M. II3eGregor, wished.to take a little stroll, he could walk around his shop in about 2 minutes by the factory clock. . Nobody would have believed at that time that this shop would, iiia fc•.v ycara, develop into the largest plant of its kind in the Empire having a floor acreage of over 4 ei3Oe0 square feet and • • ymaking 3 times as many cars as any other automobile factory m the Britieli Empire. But ro it has come to pass. Through the efforts of Mr. McGregor and his Canadian associates, thi: `;raeou chop has been turned into the great Ford plant at Ford City, Ont. The factory today is one of the industrial show places of Canada. Here are the highest paid automobile :mechanics in the Empire who put their best into the building of a car that has won its way iipto the confidence of the Canadian public. Here are hundreds of machines designed by Ford enainecrc, which are marvels of the indus- trial world.• Many of them would do the work of me ordinary sized automobile company in a week or so, but because of the demand for Ford cars ±hey are kept busy the year round. - Here a new Canadian Ford car is born every three and ono -half minute% Here workmen are busily engaged hi making additicne no that the r.eduction of cars may keep pace with the demand, There never has been n time since v.ar b :, : when gangs of teen were not at work expanding the plant, literally building for the Mere. Look in at the power plant and you will see two monster 050 he:eel/ot, -:• g.^s engines. What a contrast to the early days when the factory power was derived from the h:ed t heel of a Model . a" carl In the immense heat treatment plant, Vanadium steel, the nest expent i: -e and boat of steels, • is heat-treated the ford way. Isere each steel part is especially prepared for tho ranee and sirain it will have to withstand in the completed car. Tho machine shop contains many wonderful sights for the visitor. There aro long rows of very expensive gear cutting machines. And there is the great machine that laid$ 43 celindcrs at one time! And another that drills 45 Boles at once in a cylinder casting from rides, top and bot - torn. Marvelous sfieed and equally marvelous accuracy! !'heli there is the handsome office building in which close to 200 worker., are employed. Iii all there are over 30,000 people dependent on the Canadian Ford Plant for their :+uisport. In this plant the Ford car is constructed practically in its entirety-evcii'tlie steel, as men- tioned above, is refined here. • Furthermore, and Here is a record rarely found in other largo Canadian factories, all but $16.S8 worth of the material used in the malting of the 'Canadian Ford ie bought ri ht here in Few products can a claim to r, „i. Canada. lay c a being o t,trtctly, 11Ia.Ze, a, C,a,t�..,a t<;, thc, Ford ear. Cone irler what thisnieansto Canadian nide try whet, it inelu'1ee such immense purchase:.."i 25,000 tong of etee1,1,500 tolls of bfasr, etc.,120,000 trltcele, 200,000 lames., and other material:; in proportion. Practically the entire output of several large Canadian factories employing hun- dreds of workmen is taken by the Ford Plant at Ford City, Ont. But .great as this influence is for the increased prosperity of the Empire, it does not stop there. All over the Empire are Ford Dealers who are important factors in increasing the wealth and prosperity of their communities. The spirit of faith in the future that has prompted the Ford Canadian Company to proceed with a policy of full -speed ahead in times that have seemed to many to require the use of extra- ordinary caution and conservatism, is a happy, progressive, enthusiastic spirit that is radiated in every city or town of any size in the whole Dominion and in the Empire over the seas through the Ford Dealer whom you will find there. Besides this there are the nine branches in Canada and one in Melbourne, Australia, four of which have been rebuilt since war began at a cost of over $1,000,000, that are powerful supports to these dealers in being elements of first importance in adding to the wealth•and progress of the • natioBn. ut, phenomenal as the development of the Ford Plant has been, its great success was not attained without its share of great difficulties. The first three years of its existence were somewhat precarious. The first car was not shipped from the factory until six months after the company was organized. Nowadays, 20,000 cars would have been shipped in that time. The first main building was a two and a half story brick structure and the entire plant occu- pied about one acre of ground. The machinery consisted of one solitary drill press. But from 1010 oit the business increased so fast that it was difficult for the plant capacity to keep pace with the sales,and additional buildings and equipment were constantly being con- structed and installed. In 1911 the output was 2,400 cars, in 1912, 6,500 cars were built, and so on up to this year's estimated production of 40,000 cars. The executives of the Canadian Ford Company make no consideration of the war. They are so thoroughly Canadian in their ideals that they take the prosperity of Canada and the triumph pf Britain and her allies as' accomplished facts. No stops have been made in their plans for progress -not the slightest hesitation has been' evidenced' in developing this great Canadian Plant to its highest degree of efficiency on account of the war. .As evidence of this $M2,000 has been spent on new buildings at Ford City—a million dollars has been spentroi new equipment --over a million dollars was expended on branches in four Cana- dian cities -and 000 sten have been added to the payroll—all this in a belligerent country during the, progress of the greatest war the world has ever seen. In addition, the price of the Ford oar has been reduced $1,20 since that memorable August 1, 1014. So then, this the story of the wagon shop that became the great Canadian Ford Plant. An • induutry that is proud to aysthat it builds its product from Canadian material, With Canadian workmen port that Wks its Canadian patriotism With its hard cash.
