DETROIT, Aug. 22.-Reading hu-
man history from articles of human
origin is the thought and purpose
back of the typical American vii
lage Henry Ford is building in his
home town of Dearborn on the out
skirts of Detroit.
And the ability to thus read his
tory is ascribed to Ford in an eX-
ceptionally marked degree, despite
various references spoken and writ
ten in the past with respect to his
lack of historical attainment.
Although the auto magnate has
demonstrated that he is weak on
dates and incidents, the fact is he
has quite definite ideas regarding
historical values, and his Dearborn
collection represents his way of CIV
ing expression to the notions he en-
tertainS.
we are trying to assemble" he
remarked, complete series of every
kind of article used or made in
America from the days of the first
settlers down to now.
when we are through we shall
have reproduced American life as
lived.
The Ford collections at Dearborn
have been in a process of growth for
many years. Early in life the pas
sion for accumulating such collec-
tions took hold of the Ford mind.
At first he collected articles
brought there by his father and
mother, then things of little ap-
parent value, pieces of old china, old
rusty hand wrought nails and spikes
These are put most carefully away
in the museum.
Then there are relics and an
tiques, many of priceless rarity. Acres
of them are protected and preserved
in the old tractor plant at Dear
born until they can be classified and
put in place in the museum being
built near the main Ford admins
tration building in Dearborn.
In the collections are the Wayside
Inn near Boston, the Burroughs
homestead in the CatSkillS, the Ford
homestead in the Old Scotch set
tlement of Dearborn and the Bots
ford Inn in Detroit.
