Craig, as treasurer and secretary, was responsible for the hundreds of millions of dollars that funded all of Ford's operations. A. M. Wibel managed purchasing of everything from cotter pins and lubrication oil to coal mines and freighters at Ford's River Rouge plant, Highland Park, and ultimately for Ford operations worldwide.
