DEPENDABILITY
Christian Church Notas
The great locks of the Panama Canal that will
unerringly lift a huge dreadnought over a mountain
range, are examples of dependability. They can be
counted on not to fail in time of need.
We have never failed a depositor’s confidence.
All your associations with this friendly bank of de­
pendability will be such as to increase the esteem
in which we are held in this community. Open an'

A REPORT
to America
T he Ford M otor C om pany’ s
business has always been to
serve the needs o f the American
people. In providing them with
low-cost transportation for the
past 38 years, we have devel­
oped one of the country’s larg­
est and most useful industrial
units. During a national emer­
gency, we feel that these facili­
ties should be devoted without
reserve to our country’s needs.
T ow a rd that end w e started
rolling months ago, with these
results:
1 A $21,000,000 Ford airplane en-
■ gine factory, started only 6 months
ago, is nearly completed. Production
w ill start with an initial order for
4,236 eighteen cylinder, air-cooled,
double-row, radial engines.
We are building a new $800,000
Ford magnesium alloy foundry,
one of the few in the country. It is
already producing lightweight air­
plane engine castings.

Army reconnaissance cars — mili­
tary vehicles of an entirely new
type — are rolling off special Ford
assembly lines at the rate o f more
than 600 a month. W e have produced

trucks.

o f an $11,000,000 Ford plant
to produce bomber airframe
assemblies by mass produc­
tion methods.

Several months ago w ork was
started, on our own initiative, on
an entirely new 1500 horsepower air­
plane engine especially designed for
mass production. This engine is now
in the test stage and plans are being
developed for producing it in large
quantities when and if needed.

C A Ford aircraft apprentice school
" Has been established, to train 2000
students at a time.
That is a report o f progress
to date.
The experience and facilities
o f this company can be used
to do much o f the job which
America now needs to get done
in a hurry.
Our way o f working, which
avoids all possible red tape, en­
ables us to get results and get
them fast. This benefits users
o f our products and workers
who produce them.
W e are ready to make any­
thing we know how to make,
to make it to the limit o f our
capacity if need be, to make it
as fast as we can go, and to start
the r xt jo b whenever our
country asks us to. And to this
end, we know we have the full

support o f the workmen
throughout our plants.
