Detroit reports Henry Ford expands his resource base with a massive land purchase in Michigan to secure timber and minerals. He plans a new Iron Mountain body plant and full supply chains for wood and metal, aiming to power generations of industry with a vast forest and mineral holdings. The deal centers on 425,000 acres in the Upper Peninsula, including hardwood forests, graphite, and iron supplies, with a secret price, widely speculated above 20 million dollars. Plans call for a sawmill, new body plants, and continuous forest protection as Ford builds out a multi-plant empire to feed assembling facilities nationwide.
