Ford’s Iron Mountain plant. Henry had extensive lumber holdings on the UP, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Initially Iron Mountain made shipping crates for Ford parts that were emptied and then used for floorboards in Model T’s. Interior wood for structural or interior tack strips, Station Wagon bodies and more came from there. Waste was processed into charcoal briquettes and I think eventually the briquette business was sold to Hank’s brother in law.
