Henry
Ford
Henry Ford was the first person to build cars which were cheap, strong
and fast. He was able to sell millions of models because he ,, mass-produced,,
them; that is, he made a great many cars exaetly the same type.
Ford`s father hoped that his son would become a farmer, but the young man did not like the idea and went to Detroit where he worked as a mechanic. By the age of 29, in 1892, he had built his first car.
However the first ,,mass-produced,, car in the world, the famous “Model T”, did not appear until 1908- five years later Ford had started his great Motor Company. This car proved to be so popular that it remained unchanged for twenty years. Since Ford`s time, mass production methods have become common in industry and have reduced the price of many articles which would otherwise be very expensive.
