GRADUATE 1,000 SERVICE MEN FIRST YEAR

During the first year of its existence, the Ford Service Course, organized January 1, 1918, by the Ford Motor Company, graduated more than 1,000 service men who came to Detroit from Ford dealers in various parts of the United States to learn the proper and most eficient way to repair Ford cars. It is the intention of the company to eventually have every service man and mechanic employed by Authorized Ford dealers come to Detroit to take the course. . Appointments are made through the Ford branches, one of which sends five delegates each day. The time occupied is one month and it is divided between theory and practice. The students are paid by .the Ford company for their time—a part of which is spent doing actual work on cars in the factory. In the present class are 120 students, and every state is represented. The expenditure of $150,000, which was the cost of beginning this course, is looked upon .by company officials as a good investment because it will help to give standard service to car owners. Paul H. Nogor of the Central Garage was one of the men who took this course.—Advt.
