- Worker inside the Sawmill at the Willow Run Bomber Plant, March 5, 1942 - During World War II, Ford Motor Company built B-24 bomber airplanes at its Willow Run plant, located 35 miles west of Detroit. Work on the factory's buildings started in March 1941. As trees were cleared, Ford erected an on-site sawmill that processed them into lumber.

- Men Working at a Sawmill in Alberta, Michigan, 1937 - Ford Motor Company had several facilities in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Ford built a sawmill and established a company town in Alberta, Michigan, in 1935. More a public-relations effort than a vital industry, Ford operated the Alberta mill until 1954. The company then donated the facility and 1,700 acres of surrounding forest land to Michigan Technological University.

- 1914 Fruehauf Truck Trailer - In 1914 Detroit blacksmith August Fruehauf devised a simple single axle trailer for lumber dealer Frederic Sibley. Hooked to a modified Ford Model T, it carried Sibley's boat on vacation trips. Sibley then had Fruehauf modify the trailer for hauling lumber. This "semi-trailer," as Fruehauf called it, is the ancestor of trailers carrying freight all over American roads today.
