<P> Anders Jonsson (1816--1890) was a famous Swedish entrepreneur who continued a putting - out business at Holsljunga . He contracted up to 200 domestic workers, who came to his house to get the raw material and returned after a couple of weeks with textiles, that local pedlars from the city of Borås then bought and went out to sell among other things around Sweden and Norway . </P> <P> A cottage industry is a small - scale industry, where the creation of products and services is home - based, rather than factory - based . While products and services created by cottage industries are often unique and distinctive, given the fact that they are usually not mass - produced, producers in this sector often face numerous disadvantages when trying to compete with much larger factory - based companies . </P> <P> A cottage industry is an industry--primarily manufacturing--which includes many producers, working from their homes, typically part time . The term originally referred to home workers who were engaged in a task such as sewing, lace - making, wall hangings, or household manufacturing . Some industries which are usually operated from large, centralized factories were cottage industries before the Industrial Revolution . Business operators would travel around the world, buying raw materials, delivering them to people who would work on them, and then collecting the finished goods to sell, or typically to ship to another market . One of the factors which allowed the Industrial Revolution to take place in Western Europe was the presence of these business people who had the ability to expand the scale of their operations . Cottage industries were very common in the time when a large proportion of the population was engaged in agriculture, because the farmers (and their families) often had both the time and the desire to earn additional income during the part of the year (winter) when there was little work to do farming or selling produce by the farm's roadside . </P>
