A Roaring Economy

Question 9 • [HSSUS] US History, Sem 1 (26-27)

How did many manufacturers in the 1920s improve efficiency to meet increasing consumer demand?

Answer
A
They raised prices to reduce consumer demand, allowing time to meet production needs.
B
They resisted changing production and sales techniques so workers would not need retraining.
C
They offered a smaller variety of goods to focus on producing only a few products.
D
They adopted mass-production manufacturing techniques developed by Henry Ford.

Explanation

Many manufacturers used mass production to make large quantities of goods more quickly and efficiently. Henry Ford’s assembly-line methods divided production into repeatable steps, helping factories meet rising consumer demand. Raising prices or limiting production would not have addressed the need to produce more goods.
