About this stamp:
The current flag, bearing the Michigan coat of arms, was officially adopted in 1911. Written on it is the phrase, “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.” Michigan is the only state consisting completely of two peninsulas. Surrounded by four of the five Great Lakes and connected by rivers, Michigan has always been an ideal shipping center.
Michigan’s favorable location attracted major automobile manufacturers to build plants there. The car companies used assembly lines and interchangeable parts to mass produce vehicles. Carmakers were so efficient that the U.S. War Department asked them to build tanks and bombers during World War II.
In the 1800s, Michigan shipped timber and iron throughout the country. During this time, Michigan became the leading producer of lumber in the U.S. Surprisingly, more people became millionaires from Michigan’s logging industry than from all the California goldmines combined.
