(Text 10)
In 1903, Henry Ford and eleven business associates began to run the Ford Motor Company
together. For just $28,000, the company sold its first car, a Model A Ford, a month later to a
doctor in Detroit. In 1913, the company developed a new production method called the production
line. It had each worker staying in one place and performing the same task on each car as it
passed by. This revolutionary new production method greatly improved efficiency and was soon
being used in factories around the world.
Henry Ford was the leading manufacturer of American automobiles in the early 1900s. He
revolutionized a young automobile industry and reduced the cost of manufacturing automobiles.
And Ford passed on much of the savings to his customers. In 1908, when the Ford Motor
Company introduced a Model T, it cost 850 dollars. By 1924, production line improvements helped
reduce the price of a Model T to just 290 dollars. An automobile was now within reach of the
average family.
