Thorpe and Carpenter Win Land Office Timber Battle
Thorpe and Wallace Carpenter secure key land descriptions in a tense Detroit land office contest. Thorpe outmaneuvers Morrison by timing and precision, arranging a certified‑check purchase just as Morrison demands priority. The duo then plan funding and a partnership to manufacture timber, celebrating with a quiet dinner after a hard week.
