1924 Ford Motor Company Institutional Message Advertising Campaign, "The Nearest Service is Ford Service"
Add to SetSummary
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. This is one of just two ads in the series to prominently feature the company's core product in its artwork.
