Kingsford MIchigan was the site of a Ford Motor Company factory which built wooden station wagon bodies beginning in 1931. During World War 2, Ford built a glider factory which manufactured more than 4,000 wooden frame Waco gliders for the US military.
Scrap wood from the Ford factory was used to make charcoal. That operation was the foundation of the Kingsford Charcoal company. Remember the WOODIE station wagons.
I quit using any liquid fuel .

Late '70's. . . . early 80's......
Data Conversion was the money maker...
Word Processing was the name of the game. . .
8 to 10 different vendors pedaling Word Processors....
All thought they had the Greatest, Best, Fast, Efficient, bla...bla...bla!!. I agreed with all products for Word Processing accomplishments.
Me.......... I never owned any of those boxes....
My angle was CONVERSION OF DATA . . . FROM ONE KIND OF WORD PROCESSOR TO THE NEXT NEW AND BESTESS . . . "OH HAPPY DAYS!"
====
I purchased an ALTERTEXT conversion box... $9,000.00 . . . Read an input disk from a certain WP machine and convert it to a different WP machine... the newest and best on the market.
Ya.. rite.. Along came another Conversion Box . . . CROMWELL... created by a person from Indiana. Price? $850.00 cash... Met the person at a Print/Graphics show in Chicago, Ill. Ditched the ALTERTEXT. No more buying $450.00 8" pre-programed to convert ASCII data from one format A to format B machine. I could create my own conversion tables. Save them.... and tweak them for any new format that showed up on the market. I must have had 25+ different tables to accommodate what was being created by word processing companies. The ASCII alphabet consisted of 256 different ASCII characters. Read the input character and if needed, convert to the output code. See "ascii code tables"... We read the input code and if needed changed it to the correct outpout ascii code. Those days word processing persons were charging by the page. I was charging by the character. Ranged from $.0003 to $.03, depending how many thousand characters counted. [State Govts. and Insurance Companies were my best clients. It was a continuous cycle of word-processor machines coming and going.] And then a person named Bill Gates reared up.... pretty much standardized keyboards on computers... and caused the end of 20+ different word processor machine companies....
END OF HAPPY DAYS..... ONTO SOMETHING ELSE...
Great History lesson for ALL.
Sure beats pokin' key buttons on c-phones....
In the "56" era there was a company of female pilots stationed at Camp Pendleton Marine Base. . . .
They showed up in Ocean Side CA. one weekend.... at a beach party....
