BRIDDLE ive Highland Park Highland Park 93 National Advertising RepresentativeAttends Ford Press Preview Mr. William 8. Nordburg, national advertising representative of the HIGHLAND PARK PRESS, was inâ€" vited to attend the Ford Preâ€"View of the 1941 cars in Detroit on Sepâ€" tember 11. This is an annual event at which the nation‘s newspapers, magazines and radio networks are guests of the Ford Motor Company. About 250 attended. The preview guesty met at the Tashmoo Dock in Detroit and sailed in a fleet of cruisers down the Deâ€" troit river and up the Rouge river to the huge Rouge plant in Dearâ€" born. The route of the cruisers traced the pathway over which most of the raw materials for Ford auâ€" tomobiles are carried. Upon landâ€" ing the representatives were taken on flatâ€"cars along a part of the 100 mile network of rail lines inside the Rouge plant. In its tour of the plant the train passed the docks and the ore, coal and limestone bins stocked with two million tons of raw materials. for The sight is almost unbelievable seeing this great Rouge plant operâ€" ating as if by magicâ€"very little moise and everything spic and span. There are 5,000 workmen employed just to keep things clean who are paid a minimum wage of $6 per day. Fifteen thousand pounds of soap chips are used per month. In 28 hours from the time the iron ore is put in the melting furnaces, a complete automobile is . speeding down the highway. There are 67 acres of parking space for the use of Ford employees and on an averâ€" age day there are 35,000 employees‘ cars parked here. Ninetyâ€"nine per cent of these cars are Fords. After the tour of the Rouge plant, dinner was served in the Rotunda. Dining at the same table were three generations of Fordsâ€"Henry Ford, Edsel Ford and his two sons. Mr. Nordburg had the great pleasure of shaking hands with Mr. Henry Ford and complimented him on the Willâ€" kie button he was wearing. Following the dinner the new 1941 line of Ford cars were inspected. It is remarkable how the engineers and stylists improve automobiles every year. The runningâ€"boards on all Ford cars have virtually disapâ€" peared thereby increasing the seat width as much as seven inches. The new Ford Vâ€"8 is five inches longer. The wheelbase on the Mercury has been lengthened and new balanced front and rear springs and bigger tires contribute to a much better ride. In the Lincoln line there are more than 60 improvements and reâ€" finements which add substantially to the pleasure of riding and driving the new car. Another important feature in the entire Ford line this year is the increase in glass area providing greater driving safety. â€" The Lincoln cars will be shown to the public on Sept. 20 and Ford and Mercury cars on Sept. 27.
