FORD PACTS AND HISTORY
Ford Motor Band
The Company maintains a
Band of 52 pieces, which was
organised in the fall of 1910.
All the members of the Band in-
cluding the Director, are employ-
es of the Company. It is very
interesting to note the large
number of vocations represented
in this organisation, as by far
the largeat percentage of fhe
members is employed in the shop
as machine operators, bench men
factory clerk*, tool makers, pat-
tern makers and foremen.
The Company, each year, ar-
ranges a series of concerts and
provides an auditorium, so that
the entire Ford organisation
may have the privilege and
pleasure oJ hesring high class
and light music at no cost to
themselves, as all expense of
maintaining the band is borne by
the Company. The program for
these concerts is so arranged by
the Director as to please the
lovers of high class, as well as
those of the lighter and more
popular musk.
The members of this organiza'
tion are from 15 different na
tionalities, part of whom have
come from some oi the most pro-
minent musical organisation of
this country d Europe.
FORD sk AWCHBS AND ASSKM-
PLANTS.
The production of 308,213 fin-
ished Ford cars between August
1, 1914, and August 1, t915,
msrks a record, and in point of
numbers is more than the output
makes possible the attainment of
a daily average of approximately
2,000 cars.
Where the Ford assembling
plants and branches are located,
they are a distinct addition to
the red blood of the industrial
life of the commuuity, for they
employ from 200 to 700 workmen
each, at the best wages. A large
portion of the employes in the
outside plants are profit-sharers.
The Ford branches, too, occupy
an important place in the com-
mercial life of the cities, for
through them, millions of dollars
worth of business is transacted
yearly. It is estimated that the
value of buildings alone, for
branches and assembling plants
is in excess of $13,000,000.
All this intricate organization
and investment.of fund* is de-
signed to accomplish two objects.
First, the system makes it possi-
ble to ship parts from the main
factory to definite points for as-
sembly, obtaining a more rapid
and more economic distribution.
Second, the location of the as-
sembling plants aids in giving
prompt, reliable and economical
service to Ford owners, besides
very greatly reducing the freight
costs for delivery of «cars, etc.
The stragic location of the as-
sembling plants makes for a
handy distribution of parts and
supplies, aud there are no vexa-
tion delavs for the owner °f a
Ford car while a part is forward-
ed from the home factory.
In addition to the twenty-eight
assembling plants and fifty
branch houses in the United
for the same period. This great
output Would be impossible, were
it not for the Ford Assembling
Plants and Branch Houses,
twenty-eight in numberj located
in the principle cities of the
United States. To these assemb-
ling plants are shipped parts for
Ford cars in carload lots, and the
cars are assembled at the differ-
ent plants and supplied direct to
dealers in surrounding territory.
While the factory at Detroit is
able to average 1,200 cars per
gate more than $12,000,000.
This is more than many auto-
mobile companies have invested
in their plant and business.
Pierce Announces
For County Assessor
In this issue of the Herald W.
W. Pierce indicates to the Demo-
crats of Blsine count* that he
wants to be their standard bear-
er in the race for county assessor.
So far. no other Democrat has an-
nounced for this office, and it
may be that none will do so, in
which event Mr. Pierce will have
a clear field for the nomination,
and in which futher event he'
*ill be the next assessor of Blaine ]
county and a good one at that.
The present assessor has made
in enviable record, but Pier<£
will be his equ^l if not superior,
lis long experience in business
md well known ability, together
*ith his recognized knowlege of
and values, peculiarly fit him
for the position and when be is
elected and inducted into office

receive the same fair treat-
ment for which W. W. Pierce is
so well known. He has lived in
Blaine county for more than ten
years, is knowniby hundreds of
people and will make a strong
race.—Watonga Herald.
of all «tk>v ^Knpanies com. ined~ State*, there 14 branch hoi^j in
foreign countries. These are
important, for the Ford car is
"universal" in use and distribu-
tion, and "Service First" is as
important in South America, or
Australia, or Europe, as in A-
merica.
Some idea of the lengths to
which the Company has gene in
providing adequate services for
Ford owners may be gained from
the knowledge that the value of
supplies and accessories in the
hands of Ford branches, as-
day of eight hours, the assist-j sembling plants and agents in

more efficiencv per
