F WE KNEW anything better we could do for
1 the country than make good motor cars, we
would do it.
By every one doing his best in the job he
thinks most useful, this country is going to regain
its momentum. We have tried to do our best in
our job.
When business was suddenly halted in its recov.
ery more than a year ago, we determined that we
should keep going anyway, if not at full-volume
motor car production, then at getting ready for
greater motor car values that would help future
production.
EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE
We began to build 34 million dollars’ worth of
new plants and equipment. We felt that if we
could not employ all our men building motor cars,
we would employ as many as we could building
better production facilities.
We were told, of course, that this was no time
for expansion, that a wiser business policy would
be to "hold everything”—which means, stop
everything. But no one ever got anywhere
standing still.
Besides, we are not defeatists. We do not believe
this country has seen its best days. We believe this
country is yet in the infancy of its growth. We be-
lieve that every atom of faith invested in our
Country and our People will be amply justified
the future. We believe America is just beginning.
Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity.
Never yet have we seen adequate Production.
But we shall see it! That is the assurance in
which we have built.
Business is not just ing back. It will have
to be brought back. That is now becoming well
understood in this country; for that reason 1939
will be a co-operative year. Manufacturers, sellers
and buyers will co-operate to bring back the busi-
ness that is waiting to be brought back.
This construction program is almost completed.
It has increased activity and payrolls in a number
of related industries. It has given us better facil-
ities for building better cars and trucks, and
eventually our new tractor which is being perfected.
THIS MEANS MORE VALUE
The current program has provided a new tire
plant, which will turn out a part of our tire require.
ments . . . a new tool and die plant that will help
us cut the cost of dies . . . and a steel-press plant
that will enable us to make more of our own auto-
mobile bodies. These are in addition to the plants
we already had for producing glass, iron, steel,
plastics, and many other things.
We don’t supply all our own needs, of course,
and never expect to. The Ford engine is one thing
Sn
that no one’s hand touches but ours. Of nearly
everything else we use we build some quantity
ourselves, to find, if possible, better and more
economical ways of doing it. The experience
and knowledge we gain are freely shared with our
suppliers, and with other industries.
We take no profit on anything we make for
ourselves and sell to ourselves. Every operation,
from the Ford ships which first bring iron ore to
the Rouge, is figured at accurate cost. The only
profit is on the finished result — the car or truck
as it comes off the line. Some years, there is no
profit for us. But we see to it that our customers
always profit. A basic article of our business creed
is that no sale is economically constructive unless it
profits the buyer as much as or more than the seller.
Our new plants have helped us build more
value into all our cars for 1939. That means
more profit on the purchase to the purchaser.
We have not cut quality to reduce costs.
We simply will not build anything inferior.
NEW TESTING EQUIPMENT
While we were putting up new plants to uce
cars, we new equipment to test
The first weather tunnel of its kind ever built for
automobile research went into operation at our
laboratories this year,

to find in Nature. Our cars are weather-tested to

In other tests, every part of the car is pun.
ished unmercifully. Then our engineers tear it
down to see if they can find abnormal wear or
any sign of weakness.
The money we spend on tests saves you money
on repairs. And your family car is safer and more
dependable when we put it in your hands.
. THE NEW CARS
We have two new Ford cars for 1939— better cars
and better looking—but we also have an entirely
new car.
It’s called the Mercury 8. It fits into our line
between the De Luxe Ford and the Lincoln-
Zephyr. It is larger than the Ford, with 116-inch
wheelbase, hydraulic brakes, and a new 95-horse-
power V-type 8-cylinder engine.
We know that our 1939 cars are cars of good
quality. We think they're fine values in their
price classes.
With new cars, new plants, new equipment, the

They Take Pride
in Their Jobs
Wherever you find telephone men
and women and talk with them for a
while, you'll notice these things:
A certain pride in the job they're
doing. A feeling that it’s part of an
important service to the community
and the nation. A desire to do the job
the best they know how.
You'll notice, too, a strong sense
of loyalty to their company and a
sincere friendliness that has made
“the voice with 2 smile” something
more than a famous phrase. Perhaps
all this is best summed up in another
famous phrase — "the spirit of service.”
All America knows what that
It has been demonstrated in \fire,
flood and storm—and in your every-
day telephone service, the finest in
the world.

The more you use your telephone
service, the more it is worth to you.
Let it help you do your shopping, run
your errands, speed up your business
affairs and keep you in touch with
friends and family everywhere. The Bell
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania.
