Terry,
You will find several references to Mutual Wheel if you do a Google book search and limit the time frame to what ever period you want. Here is a search for 1893 to 1920:

Henry Ford built his first car in 1896, not 1893 as indicated on your website.

Also - a quick search on Google books indicates that Mutual Wheel was founded in 1891 - see the information below from "Implement Age" Volume 38.

Since Mutual Wheel was initially a supplier of horse drawn vehicle wheels, you may want to look in period trade magazines such as "The Hub," "The Carriage Monthly," The Implement Age," "Farm Implement News." I would also look at automotive trade journals such as "Horseless Age."
