Where a family wants particularly to keep all its members together during all the working day, it should be provided with a small agricultural property or a small workshop, which are better suited to such a purpose. It is desirable that small-scale industries should exist alongside heavy industry, and cottage industries diffused alongside factory ones. There is plenty of room for mass-production and there is plenty of room for individual production. The mass production of automobiles brought within the purse of the middle class what was before within the purse of the rich alone. It is in the making of common necessities especially that mechanical mass-production has an impregnable case. But even here the mechanic may and should work in co-operation with the artist. Much material could be fabricated in little one-room workshops and then sent to the central assembly depots or chief finishing factories.
