flclc which he calls “Ely Life and
Work" written by himself in McClure's
liagnzinc for: May. with the colluh-
oration of Samuel Crowther. author
and editor.
And Mr. Ford Mill fist-ls the same
way about turning. Not thut he, has
anything against l'.’ll‘lllt-i‘s. he points
out. but there is “too much hard hand

All this time. Mr. Ford was working
as an electrician with the Electric'
Company. He had become a foreman]
at $125 a. month-but his gas engine ex—
periments were not popular at the
shop. The trouble was they believed
in electricity completely, and were at
least mildly sceptical about gas.
Fairly soon. therefore. Mr. Ford left
the electric company. That was when l
a group of men willing to take a'
chance stepped in and organized The
Detroit Automobile Company. Mr.
Ford was chief engineer. He owned a

our questions of finance and auto de-
yelopmunt. and Mr. Ford quit. He
-took his patents with him. opened the
famous one‘story brick shed and pro-
ceeded to build and sell about 25 cars.
About that time—it was then 1902——
Mr. Ford won a road race in one of
his own can and business began to
pick up.
Formation of the Ford Motor Car
Company was the result.
