As Industrial Production Rose, What Type(s) of production declined

        As industrial products rose, homemade products and products made by artisans began to decline. Artisans were unable to keep up with the mass production of goods that  factories were able to output. Because factories were able to produce so many goods in less time and for less money, it became a better financial choice to buy factory goods. For example, textile factories could produce hundreds of cloths in a day as opposed to the common artisan that could only produce barely one. Even though the artisans produced more quality goods, the sheer production rate of factories drove them out of business. Artisans' business was severely hurt by the industrial revolution.
