Well, I've never really researched it out myself. But I'll tell ya one thing, it makes sense on a geography stand point.

Stands to reason that any makers in the iron ore belt, primarily used iron ore instead of scrap. Probably used more iron ore than makers not in the iron ore region.
To be honest with ya, I'm not sure where Alice Chalmers was based out of. Or where Ford tractors were actually produced at.
