I just learned that 100 years ago there was a Ford dealer in the little town where I grew up... which make a little bit of sense, Henry Ford had a farm, a logging camp, and an airfield there

 

I know this means nothing to anyone else, as I know there aren't any people from Sidnaw anywhere else, especially not reading my blog, but, just 60 years after this postcard, no one knew or remembered that there had ever been a Ford dealership there. 

No one knew (I went to 4th through 8th grade school there) or taught local history, and the fact that Tom Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone had once been in town was never mentioned, and no one probably was aware of it  https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2019/07/book-review-vagabonds-by-jeff-guinn.html
