An Instance Is Cited ur cialiv removed “FOR THE PEOPLE and POSTERITY” In uniting, under one management, five independent and self-contained lumber industries, the Ford Motor Company has revolutionized the handling of wood for automobile bodies. Logging, sawmill operation, drying wood in kilns, body parts fabrication and wood distillation have been joined in a pro- gram of efficiency and economy that is without precedent. To supply lumber requirements of over a million board feet a day, the company has acquired 450,000 acres of stand- ing timber in Northern Michigan. To assist reforestation for the coming generation, no trees under twelve inches in di- ameter are cut. Accumulated brush is burned to prevent forest fires. This allows the remaining standing timber to speed its most productive growth. Sawmills have been established near the lumber tracts, body parts being cut directly from the logs. A giant battery of dry kilns—52 units, each 222 by 20 feet—then seasons the parts for body building. Three body parts mills have already been built adjoining the kilns and here the final operations are performed. The lumber which cannot be utilized—scraps, chips and shavings—is fed into the wood distillation plant, the most modern of its kind. Thirty-four valuable by-products are recovered from the 350 tons of scrap distilled daily. An intensive program of timber conservation is maintained and the quality of parts rigidly protected. Hardwood is used exclusively. Ford body parts are not surpassed in material or in excellence of workmanship in any field of body construction. The multiple waste necessary under the previously accepted practice of cutting the logs into boards, shipping the boards to various mills and burning the resulting high percentage of scrap as fuel, is largely eliminated. Lumber, labor, time and by-products are saved. Such vital economies, combined with others at every step of the complete manufacture of Ford products, are passed directly to the public in lowered motoring costs.
