But the Ford plant is full of surprises. Every one bas a practical answer. Hundreds of workers in the Rouge require special types of foot ! wear. Diese the company furnishes. So a steady stream of worn-out foot wear reaches the Rouge cobblers. and the busy tap-tap of their ham mers joins the rhythm of ten-ton presses and heavy rolling mills. \ The cobbler’s shop is one part of the great drive that prevents waste in the Rouge. Lumber from ineom- « L . ' T• mg crates is sorted and used for outgoing shipments. Waste paper and wood chips go to the Rouge paper mill. Metal particles removed by grinding wheels and metal saws are reclaimed. Nothing is lost— nothing wasted. All this plays a part in making finer; better Ford cars. Pennies saved are pennies earned. Multiplied at the Rouge into millions, they help build the value that keeps millions of Fords delivering dependable, economical service year after year. O Rl G O M FA t—
