D) it made lumber for planes during WW1

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) it became the largest wood products plant in the world.

It was so big that 14 000 people had to operate it and an entire city had to be built to house those people and make life good for them. It was the largest such endeavor in the world and what is special is that it was the only city to be built entirely by private funds.
