Harry George Garland (November 28, 1899 – June 18, 1972) was founder and president of Garland Manufacturing Company in Detroit, Michigan, a company that he founded in 1935. As a result of his contributions to the production of equipment for the armed forces during World War II, he was recognized as one of the leaders of wartime Michigan.[1] He sold Garland Manufacturing in 1947 and turned to a career of rescuing financially distressed companies, often as a court-appointed bankruptcy receiver. His receiverships included the Anker-Holth Manufacturing Co., Richmond & Backus Co., D. J. Healy Shops, Rocky River Paper Mill, and the F.L. Jacobs Company.[2][3] Mr. Garland also served on the Macomb County, Michigan Board of Supervisors for almost 20 years.[4] The Garland Lodge and Resort in Lewiston, Michigan, is named after him.[5]
