More and More

This started with the discovery of Oil in Pennsylvania. Before, Oil had been taken from Whales, and the number of Wales was rapidly being depleted.

Then Oil was discovered in the ground, when they were drilling for Water. Amazing!

But this amazement did not last long. More wells were drilled, and they discovered this Oil Field was huge, reaching all the way into Vermont!
,
Ways of Refining Oil were soon found, and Gasoline was soon being made, and a lot of it!

The price of Gasoline became very low, but a new market for it was soon found - the Automobile!

Henry Ford discovered a way of making a cheap Automobile, the Model Ford!

And he paid high wages, because he wanted his workers, to buy his cars!

But most roads not suited for rapid driving in these new cars. New ways of building roads were soon developed and America became a nation devoted to its cars. Lovers soon discovered the pleasures of the back seat of a car (and the passenger seat also)!
