Production, and by the looks of it, probably also consumption.
Better Maid potato chips had a strong hold during the "golden era" of potato chips, it wasn't until conglomerates like Frito-Lay came along that local chip production moved elsewhere.
It's all in the Detroit Almanac, available in local bookstores and through the Detroit Free Press - hands down the best book ever released about the city of Detroit.

Did you know that at one point in time, Detroit was the potato chip capital of the WORLD?!
Just another random fact.
By production or consumption?
