Skillbuilder: Sequence EventsCHAPTER 4Name Date

American industrialist Henry Ford was truly a master of “supplyand demand.” His Ford Motor Company, begun in 1903, initiallyproduced expensive cars. However, his 1908 Model T proved to be adependable and affordable car. By the time it went out of production 19 years later, more than 15 million Model Ts had been sold!

Ford invented the assembly line method of production in 1912.By 1914, the number of hours it took to produce one car dropped from12 hours to 1 hour. The cost of the Model T dropped from $825 to $550in 1913, to $440 in 1915, and to $290 in 1924.

In 1914, Ford, raised his workers’ salary to $5 a day, more than twice what most workers made. Workers now had more money to buyModel Ts. In 1917, Ford began construction of the world’s largestmanufacturing plant in Dearborn, Michigan, where he could control thecost of every phase of auto production.

Practice1. Did Ford raise his workers’ salary to $5 a day before or after he

invented the assembly line method?

2. Did the cost of producing a Model T drop to $440 before or after the

amount of time it took to produce the car dropped to 1 hour?

The settling of Canada, and most of North America, was shaped bythe popularity of the beaver-pelt hat in Europe. The demand for thesehats was so strong that beaver had been hunted to extinction in Europeby the late 1500s. When the very first French explorers were givenbeaver pelts as gifts by Native Americans, the trapping and tradingindustry was born in North America.

With the end of the French and Indian War, companies such as theHudson’s Bay Company were able to establish supply lines along newtransportation corridors. Thus, the traders followed the trappers.Trappers moved ever westward as they depleted the beaver population.They either befriended the Native Americans, many of whom becametrappers and traders, or they displaced them. As trappers left these nowtamed lands, farmers moved in.

The popularity of the beaver hat fell sharply in the mid-1800s.Around 1870, the Hudson’s Bay Company sold former hunting land to Canada. That land eventually became Manitoba, Saskatchewan, andAlberta. The importance of the beaver was recognized when it, alongwith the maple leaf, was declared a national symbol of Canada.
