1895 Rand McNally Engraved Tinted Map of Brooklyn, NYC on Reverse Side 11x14" FL5
It was summer, 1893. The Chicago World's Fair was crowded, clamorous, exciting.
But a thirty-year-old mechanic named Ford forgot everything else as he studied a small gasoline engine mounted on a fire hosecart. He had been working a long time to develop just such a power-plant. Here was proof that his plans were sound! He hurried home to his little shop in Detroit, and by I896 produced a horseless carriage that would really run.
OuT of that carly Fair came a Ford conviction, as well as a Ford car. The conviction that expositions are educa-tion. The conviction that if you show men's most advanced ideas to the minds of other men, progress is inevitable and everybody benefits.
That's why the Ford Motor Company has been a big exhibitor at every important fair since its founding.
