Many of these immigrants became peddlers and traveled the U.S. selling silk, buttons, jewelry, household items, and religious articles from the Holy Land. Some were able to save enough money to set up their own grocery and hardware stores. There were also many who worked in factories throughout New England, New York, New Jersey and elsewhere.
Citat:
After Henry Ford offered $5 a day for work in his automobile factories, both Middle Eastern Christian and Muslim immigrants came to Michigan. Yemenis, and much later Iraqis, followed Syrian and Lebanese immigrants to Michigan, especially Dearborn. Many of these immigrants showed great entrepreneurial spirit. They were self-reliant and started their own businesses. Even those who worked in factories saved up their money and later opened their own small stores. Some of these businesses became very large companies. The founders of Haggar and Farrah, leaders in the men’s clothing industry, were of Arab descent.
