Ford Americana Shows Tides of Progress
DETROIT March 7 Henry Ford gathers what may be the greatest collection of early American life objects at his Dearborn estate. From New England to the frontier the exhibits trace home building transport industry and commerce through colonial to modern times. A planned ancient village with colonial houses actors and cobblestone streets will contrast ox carts with a tri motor Ford airplane flight to eastern cities. The site adjoins the Ford airport experimental lab and radio station and bears the inscription Mankind Passes From the Old to the New. A separate note reports rum shortages at Kingston St Vincent West Indies and liquor dealers seek duty relief.
