Back of Ford Charcoal Briquets Package, 1936
Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company's charcoal briquettes were good for more than just backyard cookouts. This packaging promoted their use as a fuel for fireplaces, or as kindling for furnace fires. The briquettes were made from wood wastes produced by Ford's sawmill operations in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The briquettes were then sold to the public through Ford's extensive network of automobile dealerships.
