WILMETTE LIPE January 11, 1929 F·rd Adding 30,000 Men to Work Shift for Big Production That Henry Ford is planning the heaviest production in the history of the Ford Motor Company this year is indicated by information that the company has begun hiring the additional ~.000 men required for greater produc.:. tion according to D. W. Leonard of the Skokie Motor Company of Wilmette, North Shore Ford dealer. The new employees will begin work at a wage of $5 a day, indicating an increase in Ford's pay roll of $150,000 a day, when the entire 30,000 additional men have been hired. The Ford company incidentally is reversing what at one time seemed to be a fundamental policy. Thi·s was the tendency to manufacture all of the parts that go into his car in his own plants. At one time it seemed to be the policy of the Ford organization to give a parts maker a contract fc;>r a given number of years, after which .the part would be turned out in a Ford factory. Within the past few weeks the Ford company has let contracts for batteries to outside makers. Formerly ·the organization produced its own batteries. In the same way Ford has farmed out his entire commitment for steering gears to a Detroit company. In the matter of wheels an outside maker has been called upon for a very large supply, though in this case it is not the en!ire need of the Ford plants. It is understood that two body_ building companies have . been given. contracts for at least ·a part of the Ford ·s upply, one of them now turning over 2,500 bodies daily. Shock absorbers are being bought outside, tho~gh this is not an entirely new development. Tires arc being supplied by four different makers at the present writing. In addition, there are other parts operations being farmed out to ·specialists.
