Lansing in 1912 had moved well past its sawmill and gristmill beginnings, and automobiles had become the city's most talked-about product. Ransom E. Olds had founded the Reo Motor Car Company here in 1904 after leaving the Olds Motor Works, and the Olds name was already tied to the city's factories and workers. Auto plants drew job seekers from Michigan farms and from other states, and the city's streets and neighborhoods expanded to house them. Government remained part of daily life, since the state capitol was the center of politics for Michigan. Residents would have known Lansing as a city of cars as much as a seat of state government.
