Henry Ford came up with the Model T car, but he was also involved in the creation of Kingsford Charcoal.
In the production of his cars, scrap wood was produced. Ford made this scrap into charcoal, and created the Ford Charcoal company. But when a new site was needed for the plant, a relative of his, E.G. Kingsford, brokered the site, and consequently Ford named the charcoal company after him.
