Below, a postcard view of
the American Wood Rim Company in Onaway. This large plant used
hardwoods from the area to make steering wheels and tire rims for
the early auto industry. It put Onaway on the map as "The Town
That Steers the World". The plant burned down and Onaway lost
about half it's population. The plant was served by the D&M,
as well as a short line railway which went into the woods, known as
the "Dummy Line". |
