Artifact Overview
In the 1920s and '30s, Henry Ford set up small-scale factories throughout southeast Michigan. These "Village Industries" supplied Ford with tools and vehicle parts, and they employed local people who could maintain farms while working at the factory. Employees at Ford's Phoenix Mill factory made electrical parts and voltage regulators. Most of this factory's employees were women.
