With Snohomish observing its hundredth anniversary in 1959 and now coming up on its hundred fiftieth anniversary, it makes us mindful when Ford celebrated its hundredth Anniversary in 2003. For a century, Ford has made the automobile available to the average American family, and put the nation on wheels. Now this horseless carriage pictured above is the kind of Ford that Grandfather used to drive, proudly and with confidence, built in 1908 to out-perform all its competitors. Over the years, Ford has developed through the Model T, Model A, V-8s and the sleek, powerful, dependable models of today& with but one thought in mind: the best automobile in the low priced field! That's why Ford, over the years, has outsold them all!

Bickford Motors is proud to join the people of Snohomish and vicinity in proclaiming the Snohomish Sesquentennial. Since E. C. Ferguson filed his homestead at the Snohomish River in 1859, this community has grown and prospered. It has seen great days and will see many more in the future. We look to the past with pride and to the future with confidence-in Snohomish with Ford.
