Isaac Singer once lived Isaac Singer, an American of German descent (from a family of Jewish immigrants from Germany). As a child, he was known as a bully, and the whole city sighed with relief when a boy at 12 ran away from home. They found him, of course. He started working as a mechanic's apprentice, and he was good at it.

But then the guy became interested in the theater and joined one of the touring troupes. He vainly, but persistently tried to implement the acting path. From something he was sure that this was his calling. And for a fair number of years, especially by those standards of life (and he lived only 63 years), he tried, tried, tried - toured, invented numbers and hoped one day to become a famous actor.

Between his favorite thing was his hobby - to collect all sorts of mechanisms. Isaac’s hands were golden and his mind inquisitive. It was with this skill that he supported his acting endeavor... and his family. His family grew year after year, but more about that.

By the age of 20, he, cooling to a wandering life, got a job in a factory. His production did not inspire him, and the young man invented idleness, and here he will not be denied enterprise, he patented a woodcarving machine, which brought a certain income.

Issak Singer became famous due to the fact that he placed the shuttle in the sewing machine horizontally (thanks to this, the thread ceased to become entangled). And also offered a table-board for fabric and a needle-holder leg (this made it possible to make a continuous seam) and provided the car with a foot pedal for drive (this freed the hands of the masters). And all in 10 days!

These three developments became the basic sewing-machine For many years, Singer became rich. Subsequently, there was one of the first ever consolidation of many patents into one pool, which created a monopoly of Singer for many decades.

And Isaac Singer. businessmanship. He sold his Singer machines on credit with a minimal down payment, which made buying a sewing machine much more affordable. A year later, he became a millionaire.

In addition, he applied the conveyor system of production (later this technique was borrowed from Singer by Henry Ford and named after the latter). The in-line assembly of products had a fantastic effect: seven years later, the sewing machine cost only $ 10 and was available to any family.

But, in addition to genius, Isaac was famous for his love. As a result, five women gave birth to 24 children! At the age of 19, Isaac married Katherine Haley. His wife quickly gave birth to two children. When he was 25 and tried his hand at acting, Isaac saw 18-year-old Mary Ann Sponsler.

Looking ahead, this name was fatal in his life. A month after meeting Mary Ann Singer begins to live with her. He is still the husband of Catherine Haley.

For 14 years, Mary meekly believed the terrible story of a villainous wife who does not give a divorce. They signed the Singer couple, had a joint bank account of a couple of dollars, were poor and happy. It was she who prompted Singer to improve sewing machines. The day Singer introduced his first car to the world, Mary gave birth to her tenth child.

When Isaac turned 49, he suddenly remembered that he had not divorced his first wife. He had not lived with her for 24 years. He accused her of treason and divorced. He married the mother of his 10 children.

However, the recent mistress soon fully felt herself in the role of a wife, catching Singer in the carriage with a new passion. She was Mary McGonial, with whom he had 5 children. By the way, both Marys learned about another namesake, Mary Walter, with a young son from Isaac.

His wife accused him of bigamy. Singer was arrested, but he was released on bail and rushed to London with another mistress.

In England, 52-year-old American rich man married, but not Mary, and 20-year-old French model Isabelle Boyer. To this woman's credit, it seems that her temperament matched that of a loving tycoon.

At least he didn't leave her. The couple married in 1863, and in this marriage for 12 years were born 6 children. Isabella herself, who after the departure of Isaac Singer into the world became fabulously rich, lived no less rich life. She had successful marriages, she received the title of count and became statue.

Isaac Singer is long gone, but his company is still alive and well. In addition to sewing machines, it produces parts for space rockets and/or aircraft.
