At 9:30 in the morning on this day, Henry Ford and otherprospective stockholders in the Ford Motor Company met in Detroitto sign the official paperwork required to create a new corporation.
Twelve stockholders were listed on the forms, which were signed, notarized, and sent tothe office of Michigan’s secretary of state. The company was officially incorporated thefollowing day, when the secretary of state’s office received the articles of association.
Ford had built his first gasoline-powered vehicle—which he called the Quadricycle—in aworkshop behind his home in 1896, while he was working as the chief engineer for themain plant of the Edison Illuminating Company in Detroit. He made two unsuccessfulattempts to start a company to manufacture automobiles before 1903. A month after theFord Motor Company was established, the first Ford car was assembled at a plant onMack Avenue in Detroit.

Drop a couple denturecleaning tablets into the
toilet bowl at night toclean off stubborn stains.
Keep brown sugarsoft by storing with
a couple ofmarshmallows.
Remove pet hairfrom furniture
and carpets witha squeegee.
To preventpotatoes
budding, add anapple in the bag.
Use ice cubes to liftout indentations
made by furnitureon your carpets.
To prevent your eyeswatering while
chopping onions, wipethe chopping boardwith white vinegar
(which won’t affect thetaste of the onions).
Use rubber bands tohelp open a jar
easily: place onearound the jar lid
and another aroundthe middle of the
glass. The rubberprovides friction toprevent your hands
from slipping.
Wrap rubber bandsaround the ends of a coathanger to prevent dresses
from slipping off.
Use a can opener toopen those endlessly-
annoying blister packsand avoid cutting
yourself.
Use chalk to removegrease stains from
