Week 9
Week 9-Industrial Design
Milwaukee fits into the history of industrial design because there used to be large factories located downtown that would make leather products, huge motors and so on. The Pabst brewing company come about in 1882 but then eventually closed down in 1996 for various reasons.

Brooks Stevens decided to stay in Milwaukee for his career because he said that was where his business was.
