Globalization didn’t exist like it does now. There wasn't a cheaper alternative overseas, so domestic production was the default. Consumers had no choice but to buy local, and prices were structured accordingly.

And less automation and less outsourcing. Production was more local because logistics and global trade weren't as efficient or cost-effective as today.
