Engels was (1842–44) a managerial apprentice in a Manchester, England, cotton mill co-owned by his father. He reluctantly returned to the business (1850) to support himself and his intellectual collaborator, Karl Marx. Having become a partner in the firm, Engels sold his interest in 1869, which enabled him to live comfortably until his death.
