Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Fair Lane shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Fair Lane offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Fair Lane at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Fair Lane? Wrong! If the Fair Lane is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Fair Lane then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Fair Lane? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Fair Lane and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Fair Lane wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Fair Lane then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Fair Lane site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Fair Lane, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Fair Lane, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
{{Infobox_nrhp | name =Fair Lane| nrhp_type =nhl| image =Fairlane Estate.jpg| caption =Front entrance of house| location= Dearborn, MI, [1966's estate in [Dearborn, Michigan. It was named after an area in
County Cork where his adoptive grandfather, Patrick Ahern, was born. The extensive 1300 acre (5.3 km²) estate along the River Rouge (Michigan) included a large limestone house, electrical power plant on the dammed river, boathouse, stables and gardens designed by
Jens Jensen (landscape architect). The estate was eventually donated to the
University of Michigan for a new Dearborn campus. Part of it is preserved as a historic landmark,and part as a wooded nature area.
Henry Ford originally approached
Frank Lloyd Wright to design the house; however, Wright eloped to Europe and
Marion Mahony Griffin designed the house in an imitation of Wright's
Prairie Style. Henry Ford and his wife took a trip to Europe and on returning dismissed this architect and used William H. Van Tine to add English manor house details to the design. The house with 56 rooms and 31,000 square feet (3,000 m²) was considered less grandiose than other great houses of the era. It included an indoor pool and bowling alley. The pool is now covered over and serves as a restaurant.
The powerhouse had its cornerstone laid by
Thomas Alva Edison and with
hydropower not only powered the estate, but a part of the town of Dearborn as well. It included the estate's garage and on the upper level a laboratory where Ford worked on engine designs. The powerhouse is also built of limestone in the Prairie Style.
Several gardens, lawns and flower beds surround the house. The largest, the "Path of the Setting Sun" is aligned so that the setting sun of the summer
solstice shows through a gap in the trees at the end of the meadow.
The boathouse allowed Henry Ford to travel on the Rouge River in his electric boat. The staff's houses and pony barn are used by the University of Michigan-Dearborn, one of which contains a children's day care center.
Some 72 acres (290,000 m²) of the original estate are managed as a National Historic Landmark.
The Ford Fairlane line of
Ford Motor Company autos was named after the estate.
