in 1904 a Scotsman made a deal with Ford—m when Gordon McGregor, a Scotsman, secured from Henry Ford the rights for all time to manufacture Ford products for all parts of the British Empire, except the United Kingdom. Today this Canadian company is owned by 28,000 Canadian shareholders, and is the largest manufacturer of motor cars in the British Empire, turning out6o,ooocars a year for Canada and 50,000 • for other parts of the Empire. and now come nearer hone The Colonial Motor Company, Limited, pioneered the “ built-in-New-Zealand ” Motor Car, and the Zealand Ford industry today gives employment to more people in the Dominion than does any other make of car. The Colonial Motor Company, Limited, is New Zealand in origin, personnel, and ownership, is financed solely by New Zealand capital, and its policy is initiated and administered by New Zealanders alone. Its profits stay in New Zealand. The watchword, “Support Home Industry,” is expressed Dominion-wide. Auckland has its Ford industry to provide work and create buying power among its own kith and kin. The Wellington Ford industry bears its share of the Capital City’s industrial prosperity, while the South Island knows that in purchasing Ford products hundreds are kept busy at the Timaru Ford factory. In buying traditional Ford value, the purchaser helps ZACew Zealand and Empire industry more than with any other car.
