In 1912, Havers bought the old E-M-F factory (also in Port Huron) and moved production there. The factory suffered a disastrous fire on 7 July 1914, destroying almost everything apart from the offices. While originally planning to resume production within a month, Havers was unable to sway their creditors who forced the company into bankruptcy.2
