PREFACE Automobile manufacturers, in general, produce only selected, key elements and subassemblies for their final product, and rely on a widespread and complex logistics network including material suppliers, foundries and fabricators for wide variety of other necessary components going into the finished automobile. Because of the importance of the automobile industry to the United States and to the world economy, it is important to under- stand the makeup of the logistics infrastructure and to understand its internal interrelationships and workings with the industry it supports. The purpose of this study was to gather all possible and pertinent information on suppliers to the automotive industry, and to present it in a form for ease of reference and further analysis m TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Section Number 1.

  • Hoosier Women at Work Studies in Indiana Women’S History
    HOOSIER WOMEN AT WORK STUDIES IN INDIANA WOMEN’S HISTORY Session 1: Women, Work, and War March 2016 The Impact of World War II: Mexican American and Japanese American Women at Work in Indiana Nancy N. Conner* Two groups of women, each representing a distinctive minority community within Indiana, earned a place in the history of Hoosier Women at Work as a result of World War II. In different ways, the war brought Mexican American defense workers in northwest Indiana and Japanese American factory workers in Indianapolis into the Hoosier workforce. Industry provided the impetus for twentieth-century development of numerous cities in The Region, that is, the northwest Indiana counties of Lake, Porter and La Porte. One city in particular has a long history of Mexican immigration, dating back more than a hundred years. That city is East Chicago, Indiana, on the shore of Lake Michigan. Although East Chicago is the formal name of this city, it was once called the “Twin City,” comprised of East Chicago on the east side of town and a section known as Indiana Harbor on the west side. Indiana Harbor was home to Mexican immigrants – many originally from Jalisco, Guanajuato and Michoacán – who came to work in the nearby steel plants. To this day, the population of East Chicago is slightly more than 50% Hispanic.1 A confluence of factors led to this unusual demographic. As the great steel mills of The Region rose to prominence around the turn of the twentieth century, they became a magnet for new *Nancy Conner served as Director of Grants & Novel Conversations at Indiana Humanities from 1982 until her retirement in 2016.

The company comprised of several investors from defunct steel companies, such as the Chicago Steel Company, and several new investors, including father and son Joseph and Phillip Block. They produced mostly agricultural equipment. In 1897, the company bought the East Chicago Iron and Forge Company for $50,000, which they used to produce railroad equipment. They sold this piece of the business in 1901 for $500,000. In 1901, the company was offered fifty acres of land near the Lake Michigan coast, at Indiana Harbor, if they would invest $1 million to build a steel plant there.
