ANNIVERSARY OBSERVED The genius
of Henry Ford, whose birth Centennial is
being observed this year, led into so many
areas of interest that an associate once re
marked: "The mind of Henry Ford is going
down 20 tracks at a time." He had his first
airplane ride with Charles A. Lindbergh
(upper left) at the controls, in August, 1927.
The year 1929 saw a reunion of two great
friends when Thomas A. Edison visited
Greenfield Village for "Light's Golden Jubi
lee." The Henry Ford Wireless Station'
(WWI) in Dearborn pioneered In inter-plant
communications and public broadcasting.
Ford is shown in one of his rare radio
addresses.
This is centennial year for
the late founder of the Ford
Motor company. A year-long
scries of events will honor the
man, known internationally
as inventor of the first "really
practical automobile."
"The father of mass produc
tion" is another title given
the former Illinois farm boy,
who laid the economic founda
tion for mass distribution
through the inauguration of
the $5 day.
Recalls Facets of Life
The observance is planned
to recall and emphasize the
many facets of Ford's life. The
impact of the observance will
be felt, spokesmen in Dear
born. Mich., predict, from
"Medford, Oregon, to Mcd
ford, Maine."
Mayor Jerome Cavanagh of
Detroit appointed a commit
tee of leading citizens to plan
and coordinate appropr i a t e
city-wide Henry Ford Centen
nial observances.
Ford mail and literature
this year carries a special
centennial symbol. The de
sign is an adaptation from the
Norman Rockwell painting
depicting Henry Ford build
ing his first automobile in his
Bagley ave. workshop in Detroit.
Series of Medallions
The Michigan Historical So
ciety has chosen Ford to rep
resent the state as its outstand
ing citizen in a scries of state
hood medallions being pro
duced. A company-produced anni
versary film, "The World of
Henry Ford," has been made
with narration in English and
number of other languages.
The film will be available .for
civic and community group
showings. Scheduled for July
are premieres of the film and
receptions and open houses in
many Ford plant cities.
Another Ford documentary
film Is "An Historian's View
of Henry Ford," a film inter
view with Allan Nevins, the
historian who has written a
three-volume history of Ford
Motor company.
Hearst Metrotone News has
released a television film on
Ford's life and times as part
of ils "Perspective on Great
ness" scries. The film is
scheduled for showing on 56
U.S. and several foreign tele
vision stations.
On July 30, the anniversary
of his birth, the Detroit His
torical Museum will open a
Henry Ford exhibit, and the
Michigan and Dearborn His
torical commissions will place
and dedicate a historic site
marker at his birthplace.
Michigan historians plan to
devote their "Michigan in Per
spective" meeting in October
to an observance of the cen
tennial. A number of old-car clubs
whose members are fanciers
of the Model T. Model A and
Lincoln Continental, have
planned summer rallies.

ROUGE PLANT Sixty million cars later, the vast Rouge
plant of the Ford Motor company stands in classic con
trast to the rented brick workshop in which Henry Ford
built his first "quadricycle." That building (upper left) at
the rear of 58 Bagley. in Detroit, was outmoded as soon as
the first car was built. Ford had to knock a hole in the
wall (note enlarged door later repaired) to make way for
the vehicle. At upper right is the second factory of the
Ford Motor company, on Piquette at Beaubien, Detroit,
which succeeded an earlier plant at 688 Mack Avenue in
1905. The company moved to Highland Park in 1910, and
manufacturing work began at the Rouge, in Dearborn, in
1919. The Rouge (below) today remains as Ford conceived
it the world's largest automotive manufacturing complex.
