The Ford/Kingsford/Iron Mountain facilities started construction in mid to late 1920 and was fully operational in relatively short order. They were producing a lot of product by 1923. Ford produced body wood and wood related bodies there till 1950 so it could be anywhere in that time frame.

Ford put out information booklets in 1925 and 1926 that can be found on a Google search for Ford Industries Booklet on the Old Car Brochures site. Ford may have put these out for more than just those years. Henry Ford had his people publish information booklets & magazines for "company news" information and they were distributed to Ford dealerships for customers to see what all they manufactured as well as basic company propaganda for new developments and such.
