1920 Census Monograph 8. The Growth of Manufactures 1899 to 1923
A Study of Indexes of Increase in the Volume of Manufactured Products
This is the eighth in a series of 11 monographs issued from the Fourteenth Census, taken in the year 1920, designed to include analysis and interpretation of important subjects covered by the census.
Monograph VIII measures the volume of the output of the country’s manufacturing establishments, not in money values, but in tons, bushels, yards, etc. The census of manufactures was instituted primarily to record industrial growth.
A Note on Language
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
