In

the

as

until

Then

came

him
in

For,
in
the
lan
guage
of
honorary
degrees
conferred
by
the
University
of

and
Colgate
University
he
had
"brought
Into

and
had

.
."
As
a
14-ycar-old
boy
on
his
father's
farm
in
Greentieid
township,
near
Detroit,
Henry
Ford
built
a
steam
engine
and
became
obsessed
with
the
idea
that
mechanical
power
could
be
harnessed
to
do
much
of
the
work
of
man
and
beast.
From
this
Idea
there
developed
eventually
a
"horseless
buggy"
at
a
price
that
would
bring
it
within
the
reach
of
the
"average
man."
That
was
the
plan
Mr.
Ford
took
to
his
friends
and
acquaintances
in
1903
when
he
sought
aid
In
founding
the
Ford
Motor
Co.
The
obscure
machinist
had
been
ridiculed
as
a
dreamer
and
a
man
"with
a
lot
of
crazy
Ideas"
and
the
response
to
his
appeal
was
not
enthusiastic.
HIS
BELIKVKKS
BECAME
WEALTHY
Only
a
comparative
few
cared
to
join
him
and
from
them
he
got
together
$28,000.
That
was
all
that
had
been
paid
In
when
the
company
was
incorporated
on
June
16
With
an
authorized
capitalization
of
$100,000.
A
numiber
of
those
who
did
advance
money
doubted
the
future
of
the
concern
and
dropped
out
in
a
short
time.
In
1905
Mr.
Ford
had
acquired
51
per
cent
of
the
stock
and
Ui
1919
alt
the
minority
holdings
were,
taken
over
by
the
family.
So
successful
was
the
venture
that
in
1903
a
dividend
of
1,900
per
cent
was
declared.
Nine
of
the
original
Investors
left
the
company
multi-millionaires.
When
the
production
of
motor
oars
for
civilian
use
was
stopped
early
In
World
War
II,
the
company
had
produced
more
than
30,000,000
vehicles;
It
had
an
assett
valuation
In
excess
of
$1,-
000,000,000;
it
was
owned
en
tirely
by
Henry
Ford"
and
his
family
and
the
Ford
fortune
was
estimated
In
the
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars.
The
fortune
Mr.
Ford
amassed
enabled
him
to
gratify
many
whims
and
desires.
He
became
a
railroad
owner,
a
pioneer
in
commercial
aviation,
a
grower
of
rutfber,
a
mine
owner,
pub
lisher
and
shipping
magnate,
lumberman,
chemist
and
manufacturer
cf
farm
tractors,
cloth,
glass
and
many
other
staple
materials.

were
