Where the Ford LOGO came from...

Immigrants, like your grandfather and almost everyone's decedents, are what make/made the country great.

Henry Ford built the Ford buildings at Berry College (my Alma mater).
Now a Ford family treasure which provides upkeep.
Google for images. Ranked as one of the most beautiful campuses in USA. Also, largest at 30,000 acres.

In case you have never seen where the Ford logo on the front of our trucks came from, here's something original from my family...

In 1933, my father visited Dearborn, Michigan and toured the newly constructed Greenfield village (which was started in 1929), and specifically the restoration of Mr. Ford's friend Thomas Edison's Menlo Park laboratory. While there, he encountered none other than Henry Ford himself. Mr. Ford was kind enough to sign my father's Menlo Park brochure. Here's the cover with Mr. Ford's signature. You'll see how close it is to the stylized Ford logo on the front of our trucks...

Ford and Edison were friends that would go camping with people like Harvey Firestone and Warren G. Harding:

Thank you for sharing this with us. Very much appreciated.
