Model T anniversary


Miller Library celebrates the Model T centennial with a book display outside the automotive special collection. Included are two new books, including Robert Casey's The Model T: A Centennial History and The Ford Model T: The Car That Put the World on Wheels by Lindsay Brooke. Also, see a photo of a Tourer bearing a McPherson College pennant parked outside the Ford factory ; if anyone knows the history behind this, we'd be eager to hear it!
