the business cares of his father William McGregor eventually became interested in the Waikervilfe Wagon Co at Ontario and shortly ter his son Gordon McGregor was made manager of the firm Here the son began to show that business foresight that has made him one of the prominent figures in the business world of Canada About this time an event took place in the carriage and wagon industry that caused the greatest concern This was the advent and the establishment of the automobile as a practical vehicle Some dealers and builders were so alarmed that- they thought their business would go to immediate rack and ruin and that the auto Would supersede horsedrawn vehicles entirely Others were coolheaded enough to see the advantages that this new industry afforded and governed themselves accordingly Among the latter was Gordon McGregor who believed that he could successfully enter upon the business of manufacturing automobiles and looked about him for wise methods of doing this He got in touch with many manufacturers and looked over many makes of cars Finally he decided on one make and effected wiuparllb Church t for Service Five good Methodist Sunday School were dHvehVaoui Town

company with a capital of Then came the difficulties of manufacture and for three years it was a constant struggle to win success But success came and a greater success than the founders ever dreamed of a success abounding in truly marvelous facts and figures And this is the story of Gordon McGregor of Ford Ontario and of the establishment of- the Ford Motor Company of Canada Limited Today half

does not include the nine cities in Canada in which Ford branches are established which would add over more And Ford employes are paid three times as well as the average as by government wage reports In April 1915 a time when most Canadian manufacturers were following a policy of retrenchment the present Ford schedule of wages was adopted by which the company virtually handed to increased wages and reduced the working hours from nine to eight per Surely this is a great boon to Canadian workmen and their families It is a boon to Canadian merchants who benefit by a the increased purchasing power of all these families It is a boon to the enti country in time of war when living expenses are higher than ever before And these employees have responded in like measure to the Empires need for her peoples support Ford City alone having made what is probably a record contribution to the Patriotic Fund of per capita More than Ford employees have enlisted for overseas service and the Company is spending thousands of dollars in moving pictures which are offered free to assist in recruiting work all over the Dominion What an immense expression of confidence In the ultimate and unquestion able success of British Arms and the allied cause was this great wage increase But It was not the only evidence of the Ford Company faith in tho Em pire Before the outbreak ofhostiliUes the company decided to reduce the price of the car by When the war came upon company might well nave been pardoned for withholding this reduction for a time But they never even considered it The reduction was made same day war was declared And you can realize how real this confidence in victorious prosperity of Canada was when you consider that the prices of Ford cars are set n accord ance with the estimated production for coming fiscal year and not by any means are they based on the profits of the preceding year been spent on new buildings in City since the war began Over has been spent on new buildings In four Canadian cities since war began making a total expenditure for new buildings of approximately a million and three quarters has been spent in new equipment war began men have been added to the pay roll since war began And if there is needed furthe proof of this companys absolute conviction In the progress and prosperity of the Dominion it may be found In the fact that another reduction In the price of the car was made last August- making a total reduction of since war began This new price requires an output of cars this year Then too the price of Ford parts has been reduced by per car- a re duction that means a big increased economy to Ford owners Such Immense expenditures and price reductions as these are of the great est benefit to the general welfare of the nation under existing conditions They form one of the greatest possible influences towards boosting the prosperity of Canada that all but worth of the material that goes into the construction of a
