Edison’s’ ‘last breath’ is owned by Ford

That’s right; the last breath of Thomas Edison is on display in the Ford museum, Dearborn, Michigan. One of Henry Ford’s first jobs was working for Edison’s illuminating company. Once Ford met his mentor, the two became close friends. When Edison died in 1931, Ford wanted to capture his friend’s last breath in a test tube. So he asked Edison’s son to do the dead for him. It must be stated that Ford didn’t want Edison’s breath as a gimmick or even a money making idea, Ford truly believed that the ‘soul’ left the body with its last dying breath. So there for Henry Ford held the ‘essence’ of the great inventor.
