Caption: "Studebaker Factory. South Bend, Indiana. Sept. 13, 1934." Two buildings of the Studebaker Factory in South Bend are visible in this photograph. The Studebaker brothers started operations in South Bend in 1852, when they established a blacksmith shop and foundry. They soon began building wagons and carriages, demand for which soared with the advent of the Civil War and an increase in migration toward and into the American West. The company gradually phased out wagon production in favor of automobile manufacture in the early twentieth century. Sales declined after World War II, leading to the eventual closure of the factory in 1963.
