Description: Pristine 1939 Ford By-Products Booklet – Scarce Industrial Innovation Ephemera This 1939 Ford Motor Company pamphlet, "Industries Within an Industry: Ford By-Products," is an exceptionally scarce example of Ford's corporate literature in remarkable, like-new condition. Featuring no creases, tears, stains, dogears, or folds, this booklet stands as a near-pristine historical artifact, especially rare given its age and original use as an industrial reference. With vivid color on the cover and crisp, untouched interior pages, this piece offers an unparalleled glimpse into Ford’s early sustainability efforts and industrial innovation. Its exceptional condition will appeal to collectors who prize both historical significance and preserved ephemera. Measuring approximately 5" by 4.5", the booklet outlines how Ford revolutionized waste management, turning by-products of coal and wood into valuable commodities like Ford Charcoal Briquets, ammonium sulphate, and various chemical compounds. The detailed diagrams of the "Coal By-Products Tree" and "Wood Distillation Tree" visually demonstrate Ford's industrial prowess. Given its impeccable state and informative content, this publication is a true rarity among Ford memorabilia and early 20th-century corporate ephemera. Pamphlets of this caliber, especially those focused on niche aspects of industrial history like Ford's by-products division, are hard to come by in such preserved condition. The booklet not only serves as a testament to Henry Ford's forward-thinking approach to waste utilization but also embodies a time when industrial innovation was at its peak. The Ford Motor Company's outreach into by-product industries was integral to its expansion and success in the 1930s and beyond. Explore more rare and historic pieces like this at Seattle Antiquarian.
