Description

When war threatened in the late 1940's, the Army Air Force commissioned Ford to switch its factory in Upper Michigan to manufacturing plywood gliders. The Army Air Corps also enlisted the Scanlin Furniture Company in nearby Stevens Point, Wisconsin to switch from supplying the Ford plant with wood pieces for the Ford "Woodie" station wagons to providing wood parts for the military gliders. Eventually, the Scanlins also helped locate sources of lumber and plywood for manufacturing gliders. After the war, the Scanlins switched back to making furniture, with recent architecture graduate Kristin Scanlin as the designer of contemporary furniture. She also tracked down sources of wood for the furniture, such as the useful but low-cost species called alder. In her search, she connected with forester Stan Sandstrom, representing the Lindquist Forest Products Company in Oregon. The companies not only worked together on supplies, but Scanlin decided to open a Western manufacturing plant in coordination with the Lindquists. While working out arrangements for supply and eventual combining forces for housing and furniture, the relationship between Kristin Scanlin and Stan Sandstrom blossomed--into a romantic merger and marriage.
