WANT ADTO HARER 10 BUY VA Y Ask Heary Fond to Restore Town to-01d Colonial Beauty Richmond, Va., Nov. 1, = Henry Ford has been asked to buy Wil llamsburg, anclent capital of Vir. ginla, and restore to it the quaint and pleturesque beauty of the Revo- lutionary perlod. It then would be preserved as a living lesson in American history for future genera- tions. The suggestion, which Mr. Ford is sald to be considering, was ad- vanced by Dr. W. A, R. Goodwin, of Wiillam and Mary College, through William Ford, brother of the auto- mobile manufacturer. Under the plan Mr. Ford would purchase a large part of the present city of Willlamsburg, at an ati- mated cost of between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. A Colonial Holding * corporation then would be formed, according to Dr. Goodwin's sugges- fion, to which the city would be turned over to for all time. The | task of re-creating the colonial seat | of government wounld go forward under the direction of the holding ['trative burdens. One of the corporation. All evidences of mod-| ern days would be removed. Motion | picture houses, restaurants, tele- phone poles, sand all the trade marks of the present day would ex- fse no more. | ° Would Rebuild Town | Tn the place of today's Willlams- | burg, there would stand the house of Burgesses, rebuilt as it original- | 1y stood. Raleigh Tavern once more | would stand with inviting door for the' traveler. Main street again would be lined with mymrle trees| and hedged by roses. Shacks would give way to copies of the colonial houses which formerly occupled their sites, It s not planned to com- | pel present owners of old colonial | Homes to 21l them to the corpora- tion, but options wofild be requested in view of future eales. | Dr. Goodwin, who for years has| been interested in the preservation of the remaining marks of Vir-| ginia colonial history, is quoted as 10llows: ‘‘For some {ime 1 have cherished the hope that My, Ford might be and doubtless would be interested in making a contribution to the United States of the old colonial capital of Virginia "Williamsburg was ascociated with all the great debates, resolutions and actions which resulted in the establisthment of our federal gov- ernment.

There have been faked pictures ever since artists first began to use paints. There are so many faked Rem- brandts in existence that few pro- spective purchasers will complete a deal for one of the Dutchman's works without consulting an e pert. Just now an unusually ac- tive business in faked furniture is reported. “This s an age of faked furni- ture,”" sald the proprietor of a West End gallery. “One comes across it everywhere, It is certainly more plentiful than genuine furniture. “Most of it is sold in the first place for what it is, accurate imi- tation, but later it comes into the market in the ordinary way to be sold as the real thing.
