Artifact Overview
Henry Ford began setting up small-scale factories in towns throughout southeast Michigan in the 1920s. These "Village Industries" -- usually located at the site of an old mill -- employed local residents and supplied parts, tools and equipment for Ford's massive industrial operations. The factory in Clarkston, which opened in 1942, supplied Ford with seat covers, drill bushings and other material.
