Today's Arizona Daily Star, here in Tucson, had a question that I can't seem to grab and paste: What is the origin of the term "cottage industry"? The reply was that centuries ago farmers and agri. workers didn't always have enough to do, particularly during the winters, so they made linens, did spinning, etc. etc. at home. Some suppliers (from the city) might bring them raw materials that they would then turn into finished goods; the original suppliers would then return and take away the new goods....
