"FORD FOLLIES OF 1920" WITH EDSEL AND HIS BOYS,THE
Description
The original catalog description provided by the Ford Motor Company reads as follows: Dining room with Ford officials eating. “Mr. Henry Ford, the Second, Is working on a car; It hasn’t any rattles, It hasn’t any jar; Air-cooled, self-lubricating, Self-starting and non-skid; Tried it out the other day, And this is what it did --” “Kling had a cow ‘down on his farm.’ When she ran away Kling said ‘Gol darn,’ If I don’t get your milk inside of this can, You surely will spoil my profit-sharing plan.” “Craig has a manner wild and rough, To hear him growl you’d think he’s tough. He shrivels the gang with his icy stare, And the girls all faint when they see him glare. But this is known by everyone -- He isn’t as hard as he lets on.” “At preaching and teaching and prayer Dean Marquis is certainly there; He’s a fisherman gay and when one gets away, He delivers a speech [sic] at the air.” “Pete Martin boasts of his fancy hack. It starts all right and it may get back, But just in case that it may go wrong, Pete carries the little old Ford along.” “Bill Knudsen came from the North one day, His nose was blue and his Flivver gray. His feet hung out in the winter breeze, And he worked the pedals with his knees.” “Hartman at golf beats them all, In winter, spring, summer and fall. With style that is classy, He swings his old brassy, And usually misses the ball.” [1920]
