“Ford Tomato Juice” from the 1930s.

This is an original bottle of Ford tomato juice, a product that many don’t associate with the American automaker. Ford produced its own tomato juice for years back in the 1930s.

“We cultivate several thousand acres at Dearborn; we also have a dairy herd of around three thousand cows; and near our coal mines in Kentucky, on mountain soil that was not supposed to be good for much of anything, we are growing garden vegetables and fruit. Most of my own life has been spent on a farm. We are in touch with farming nearly everywhere through the sales of automobiles and tractors.” – Henry Ford
