Henry Ford

Henry Ford was born in 1863, in what is now Dearborn, Michigan. He

grew up on his family’s farm and went to a one-room school. From an early
age, he was interested in tools and how things worked. He was especially
interested in steam engines.

In 1879, he left home and went to nearby Detroit to work as a machinist.

He made extra money by repairing and selling watches. He worked for many
different companies and became good at operating steam engines.

In 1891, Henry Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating

Company. He became Chief engineer for the company in 1893. This job gave
him enough time and money to do experiments with engines.

In 1896, his experiments led to his invention of a

self-propelled vehicle, or ‘horseless carriage.’ This was an
early type of car, or automobile. It had four wire wheels
that looked like bicycle wheels. It had only two forward
speeds and could not go backwards. After this, he
decided to start his own business making automobiles.
The company he started became Ford Motor Company.

In 1908, this company began making the

Model T. This automobile, or car, was easy to
drive and take care of. It became a huge
success. In order to make enough of these
cars, Henry Ford opened a large factory in
Highland Park, Michigan in 1910

By 1918, half of all the cars in the United

States were Model Ts. Ford Motor Company
continued to grow and grow. It is still a very
important company today.

Directions: Pretend you are one of the guinea pigs in the story. If you had just escaped, where would you go
and what would you do? Write a creative story to describe what you do when you escape. Remember, writers
use complete sentences with appropriate punctuation, paragraphs, transition words, and have a beginning,
middle, and end. Maybe your story will end with Uncle Bill and Sarah finding you, or maybe your story will end
with you never returning to the pet shop!
