Henry Ford

                I am Henry Ford, born on July 30, 1863 on a farm near Detroit, Michigan. My father is William Ford and my mother is Mary, Litogot Ford. My wife is Clara Ala Bryant and we have a son named Edsel Ford. I’m an American industrialist who founded the Ford Motor Company, and responsible for the development of the assembly line’s mass production. I revolutionized transportation and American industry by creating the Model T automobile. Eventually, I became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. I also created the system of Fordism which has high wages and cheap consumer goods. Around 1896, I was introduced to Thomas Edison. He approved and encouraged me of my automobile experimentation. Then I founded the Detroit Automobile Company on August 5, 1899. But those automobiles were in bad condition and too expensive for anyone to use. I dissolved my company in January 1901. With the help of my friend, C. Harold Wills, I designed and built a 26-horsepower automobile in October 1901. With my success, Murphy and other stockholders in my company formed the Henry Ford Company with me as the chief engineer. However, that company didn’t work so well so I left, and he renamed it Cadillac Automobile Company. After some years of work, Model T was introduced on October 1, 1903. It had the steering wheel on the left, the entire engine was enclosed, and there are four cylinders. The car proved simple to drive and cheap to repair. In order to become richer, I publicized my invention in Detroit by issuing it in every newspaper and ads. This strategy worked greatly for my car had 100% gains almost every year. By the way, my friends, you never seen another colored Model T besides black haven’t you? That’s because I demand it is painted black so that the paint will dry faster, and you will be able to get your car faster. When World War I broke out, I made my company make aircrafts. My most successful aircraft was the Ford 4AT Trimotor. It could contain 12 passengers. In my opinion, I detest wars.  So I allied with some other owners to transport my products to the Allied powers in the European continent. If they won, the war would be over. I am also anti-immigrant, anti-labor, anti-liquor, and anti- Semitic. I wrote articles attacking Jews because there are just so many of them. I want to expand my company globally. Some other nations that cooperate with me are Ford of Australia, Ford of Britain, Ford of Argentina, Ford of Brazil, Ford of Canada, Ford of Europe, Ford India, Ford South Africa, Ford Mexico, and Ford Philippines. Later on in my life, my son died of cancer in May 1943. It was an unspeakable misfortune. I resumed the presidency of Ford Motor Company. Gradually, I had bad health conditions. I heard that President Franklin Roosevelt was going to take over my company in order to continue war production, but he never did.
