Henry Ford’s Ad Push Sparks Auto War Of Giants
The Audubon Advocate notes Henry Ford resumes advertising after a year away, backing a new car amid plant changes and daily million dollar losses. General Motors spends about thirty million this year, boosting sales by roughly 74,000 in six months versus last year. Ford plans a 15 million ad campaign for the new model, a historic single-vehicle outlay. The piece mocks the ad battle as printer’s ink warfare and concludes with a caution about name recognition in business.
