In 1891, Henry Ford left his small lumber business to work for the Edison Illuminating Company in Detroit. He was hired on by the general manger, Charles Phelps Gilbert (pictured here). Ford's work impressed his superiors, and by early 1894 he was promoted to chief engineer. While working at the Edison Illuminating Company, Ford also built his first horseless carriage, the Quadricycle.
