From the collection of John Rau--a very good copy without dustjacket. Issued at the 50th Anniversary to stockholders-in beige cloth with blue lettering to the front board and gilt lettering to the blue cloth covered spine--a short declaration (106 pp) that glosses over the history of Ford and the promise of the next 50 years. Title page designed and illustrated by Norman Rockwell. Mapped endpapers and pastedowns which shows the Ford factories nationwide. This copy is inscribed to John Rau's step-father--David Wallerstein--who was on the Board of Director's of McDonalds, Disney and Paramount Studios. Wallerstein got his start into the motion picture industry with Chicago based Theater chain "Balaban & Katz"--and then with Paramount where he had training with Adolph Zukor. Wallerstein became best friends with Walt Disney. Wallerstein's wife introduced Walt Disney to the book "Mary Poppins". Wallerstein was also the source for the phrase "Supersize-It" at McDonalds. Very scarce to find signed by Ford.…
