Cleveland was one of the major industrial cities of the midwestern US. In the first and second decade of the 20th century, it competed with Detroit in automobile manufacturing before succumbing to the Ford motor company’s superior mass production process by the late 1920s. At that point the city’s automobile factories took on a supportive role for Detroit’s car manufacturers.
