PREFACE
1 THE CLASSIFICATION OF MANUFAC-TURED COMMODITIES
THE first task in the procedure by which the mostimportant elements in gross and net capital for-mation were measured was to segregate finishedcommodities from unfinished, with a view to asubsequent segregation of durable. commoditiesfrom among currently produced finished goods.The exhaustive source of primary information onthe output of finished commodities in this countryis the Biennial Census of Manufactures. It is theonly census that reveals, at frequent intervals, theflow of commodities, and that reports many com-modity items. In addition to segregating finishedcommoditIes from unfinished, the classification ofthe Census of Manufactures commodity informa-tion in conformity with the eventual aims of ourstudy, suggested in the Introduction, provides fora third category, servicing and repairs of durablegoods, some of which are reported in the Census ofManufactures. Moreover, construction materialsare segTegated from other unfinished commodities,since one set of estimates of total construction de-veloped in a subsequent part of our study restsupon the value of construction materials con-sumed. Thus, our primary classification of com-modities reported in the Census of Manufacturescontains four classes: finished, construction mate-rials, other unfinished, and servicing. But thisclassification cannot be applied directly to all Cen-sus data, in the sense that every commodity itemin the Census can be unequivocally set in one ofour four divisions. Some commodity items arepartly finished, partly unfinished; others arepartly construction materials, partly other unfin-ished; still others may combine all three. Thesemixed groups require further analysis for alloca-tion among the constituent classes. For this rea-son, the basic classification of manufactured prod-
[131
ucts in Table I—i provides for a fifth class, mixedcommodity items.
Finished commodities are in turn classified intoseveral minor groups, largely for practical reasons.It would he impossible to retain in the subsequentstatistical the hundreds of commodityitems distinguished in the Census of Manufac-tures. At the same time, valuable detail would belost if those numerous commodity items wereforthwith combined into the four major divisionsthat our analysis eventually uses: perishable, semi-durable, consumers' durable, and producers' du-rable. Therefore, it seemed advisable classifythe finished commodities into a fair number ofminor commodity groups, some fifty, and to retainthis classification in the subsequent analysis as longas the available data made this possible. Note A toTable I—i lists the minor groups; the number inthe table itself indicates the minor commoditygroup in which either the finished or the mixedfinished and unfinished commodity item reportedin the Census is placed.
The classification into minor commodity groupsis based upon several principles. The ultimate aimof distinguishing perishable, semidurable, anddurable commodities was paramount, since thesubsequent classification into the major divisionswas made with the minor commodity groups,without further reference to the hundreds ofcommodity items given in the Census of Manu-factures. The same procedure was followed in theapportionment of finished durable commoditiesbetween producers' durable and consumers' dura-ble. Within each of these four major divisidns theminor groups are formed by grouping togethercommodities that satisfy distinct types of wants:food products, tobacco products, stationery, cloth-ing, toys, shoes, automobile tires. In the subse-quent analysis some of the minor groups in Part
PART I
I are reallocated or combined, but the consequentreduction in the n'umber of groups is insignificantuntil the analysis passes from the value of outputat producers' prices to the value of the commodityflow at the cost to consumers. At this point, in PartV, the absence of detailed data on distributivemargins necessitates combining the fifty minorgroups into the four major divisions, and limitingthe subsequent estimates to the latter.
Since the allocation of commodities among theminor and major groups is thus basic to the entirestudy, it is given fully in Table I—i. Careful inspec-tion of the table reveals the problems encoun-tered. No single commodity item reported in theCensus of Manufactures can be considered en-tirely finished or unfinished. No matter how com-pletely fabricated non-durable commodity maybe, it is unfinished in our classification if con-sumed in the business process; and small amountsof raw materials or semifinished products may beused by ultimate consumers. Thus beverages, al-though preponderantly a finished commodity,may on some occasions be used not by ultimateconsumers but by business agencies. Cocoa butter,although preponderantly an unfinished commod-ity, may be sold in small amounts to ultimate con-sumers for household use. In the strict sense of theclassification, all commodity items are mixed.But it is impracticable to attempt to correct forthe very small fraction of the total volume ofbeverages that may he utilized in a businessprocess, or for the minute fraction of cocoa but-ter that passes directly to ultimate consumers.Therefore, only when, on the basis of availableknowledge, there was reason to suspect that thefraction of a different use was appreciable was thecommodity item classified as mixed, and then sub-jected in Table 1—3 to further analysis designed tosegregate its constituent classes.
In connection with the distinction between fin-ished and unfinished commodities, the treatmentof parts deserves special mention. There was nodoubt that the commodities of which the re-ported items were parts could be classified as fullyfinished commodities (industrial machinery, cars,
and that parts sold to other manufacturersbelonged to the unfinished class. The questionarose with reference to parts sold as such for re-placement in already existing durable commodi-ties in the hands of their users. Here, especiallyamong producers' durable commodities, partshave a rather long life; and the total of severalmachines may be treated as a combination of parts
since they are ordinarily replaced piece by pieceuntil only the framework of the machine survives.It, therefore, seemed advisable to treat parts ofproducers' durable commodities for sale as suchas finished durable commodities. As the case forsuch a treatment of parts of consumers' durablecommodities seemed much weaker, they weretreated as unfinished.
The approximatc character of the distinctionbetween finished and unfinished applies, al-though less significantly, to the classification offinished commodities among the fifty odd minorcommodity groups. Here the are largelyinstitutional in character, and hence by definitionthe distinction could not be as clear-cut as thatbetween finished and unfinished commodities.Nevertheless, in scrutinizing this classification itmust he borne in mind that the resulting minorcommodity groups, with a few exceptions to benoted in Part II, are cast as units into the four ma-jor divisions: perishable, semidurable, consumers'durable, and producers' durable. Hence, if aminor commodity group includes both perishableand semidurable commodities, or commoditiesthat while durable may be used by both ultimateconsumers and producers, the subsequent classi-fication into the four major divisions reflects thisadmixture within the minor commodity group.In general, the minor commodity groups havebeen so constructed as• to prevent the grouping ofcommodities that belong to different major divi-sions in respect of their durability. But lack ofpertinent data made a precise distinction betweenI)rothlcels' and consumers' goods impossible. Asa result, the subsequent classification of durablecommodities and consumers' and producers'goods is largely on the basis of preponderant use.This probably causes a slight underestimate of thevolume of producers' goods and a correspondingslight overestimate of the volume of consumers'goods.
The services rendered by manufacturing enter-prises are not classified with the same detail asare the commodity items themselves. However,a distinction, based on the characteristics of thecommodity totals in the industries under whichthe services are reported in the Census of Manu-factures, is made between services rendered inconnection with consumers' durable commoditiesand with producers' durable commodities.

The figure in line 5 is the commod-ity total.

2 MEASUREMENT OF THE VALUE OFOUTPUT
Having classified the commodity items in the Cen-sus of Manufactures by their major characteristics
construction materials, other unfin-ished, mixed—we can proceed to tabulate thevalue of their output. For finished commodities,construction materials and other unfinished com-modities, such an assembling of figures on outputmay be followed directly by a summation of theformer into the minor commodity groups and ofthe latter into comprehensive totals. But for themixed commodity items we need a further break-down of the values that will allow their realloca-tion into the other major classes.
However, even for those commodity items thatare entirely finished or unfInished, or belongwholly to construction materials, the direct copy-ing of the corresponding figures from the Censusof Manufactures must be supplemented by severaladjustments, l)ecause the Census does not providedetails consistently from year to year. The classi-fication with which the analysis starts is basedupon the Census for 1929, the most complete ofthe recent censuses of manufactures. In order tocarry the classification through the other years,some slight adjustments were made, summarizedas: (a) estimates of secondary products and ofother products for industries in which these itemsare not segregated;. (b) estimates of a detailed com-modity breakdown; (c) adjustments in selectedindustries for 1919 and 1929;
a Adjus/ment for 'other' and 'secondary' productsIn the Census of Manufactures the value of out-put is given by industries, rather than by com-modities. But for most industries the Census pro-vides a table showing 'products, by kind, quantity,and value'. It is this table that contains the nu-merous commodity items classified in our TableI—i, and shows the difference between the indus-try and the commodity total value of output. Theindustry total includes the value of all productsturned out by the plants classified under the in-dustry, whether or not these products belong or-dinarily to the industry. The commodity totalincludesthe value of those products produced byand belonging ordinarily to the industry, and inaddition similar products turned out by plantsclassified under other industries.
This difference between industry and com-modity totals may be illustrated by the confec-tionery industry as reported in the Census of
[15]
The commodity totals for years for which theCensus gives for each industry the actual value ofo and s are obtained by straight copying. But thedetail in which these values are given varies fromone Census year to another. The fullest detailsappear in the Censuses for 1927 and 1929; thosefor 1925 and 1931 are only slightly less complete.But for 1923 and 1933, and especially for 1919and 1921, the value of either o or s, or of both, hasbeen omitted in a substantial number of indus-tries; and in order to obtain the commodity ratherthan the industry totals, these o and s adjustmentsmust be estimated. In this estimation we usuallytook the percentage constituted by the missingitem o, or the net difference between o and s(when both were missing), in the industry total
for the given industry for the nearest Census yearfor which the items were actually given; a sim-ilar percentage for the missing iteni s in the cor-responding commodity total; and applied thepercentages to the industry or commodity totalfor the year for which the items had not been re-ported. In most of the industries for which suchestimates were made the amounts involved wereless than 5 per cent of the industry totals; and inview of the minor character of the adjustments,
PART I
it was not considered necessary to present them indetail.2
One aspect of this o and s adjustment, however,requires specific'mention. In all years, even whenmost detail is provided by the Census for this item,the reallocation of the 'other products' not nor-mally belonging to the specific industries amongthe specific commodity totals reported as 'second-ary products' is not complete. Hence, total outputreported under the commodity classification as'secondary products' is less than the total reportedunder the several industries as 'other products'.The Census thus contains a volume of manufac-turing output that cannot be allocated within thecommodity classification, but that has been allo-cated within the industry classification. This ex-plains the fact that when in the analysis in Part Iwe retabulate the Census data on the value ofproducts in our commodity and service classifica-tion, the total is less than the total value of outputreported in the Census of Manufactures itself.The difference (Table I—b) is minor when ex-pressed as a percentage of total output, rangingfrom 0.8 per cent in the lowest year to 1.8 per centin the highest year, although in absolute figures itmeans over a billion dollars in the highest year.
Offhand, one would be inclined to distributethis unal locable remainder proportionally amongthe various commodity groups, at least among themajor divisions. But more careful inspection ofthe Census data indicates that the large itemsamong 'other products' that appear never to havebeen recovered among the 'secondary products'are mainly The outstanding examplesare the by-products of the meat-packing industrywhich provide raw materials for other industries,and some of the 'other products' in the motorvehicle industry. For this reason it seemed advis-able to treat the entire difference as belonging tothe group of unfinished commodities.
b Estimates of a detailed commodity breakdownThe commodity classification in Table I—i is
based upon the Census of Manufactures for 1929,which provides the most comprehensive and de-tailed distribution of the value of output amonghundreds of commodity items. The Census datafor 1925, 1927, and 1931 are almost as detailed as
2 In 1933 the commodity breakdown for a small fraction of theoutput of some industries was reported on an: abbreviatedschedule. This resulted in an item on the products table en-titled (in the industry used here as an example)and other products not reported separately'. This item was at-located proportionally among the more detailed items re-ported on the detailed schedules.
those for 1929. But prior to 1925 and partly for1933, some of the commodity items reported sep-arately during 1929 are combined; and for theseyears a detailed breakdown of the value of outputmust be estimated. The commodity items whosevalue of output was thus estimated, the percentagebreakdown on which the estimates were based,and the years for which the estimates had to bemade, are all assembled in Table 1—2. The generalprocedure, the only one easily available, was toapply the percentage allocation of the value of out-put in the nearest Census years for which theitems were. given separately to the combined totalfor the other years. For a few items, listed sep-arately in the footnotes to Table 1—2, the esti-mate was based on a different procedure.
Brief inspection of Table 1—2 shows that for1919, 1921, and 1923, and to a much smaller ex-tent for 1933, the value of output of a substantialportion of the detailed commodity items had to beestimated. By . the application of a constant per-centage allocation we obtained but crude approxi-mations to the detailed commodity items. Thatthe value of chocolate and chocolate coatings was55 and 45 per cent, respectively, of the combinedtotal in 1923 is no warrant that the same percent-age distribution was true of the combined totalin 1921 or 1919. However, the crude character ofthe results is not as significant for the value ofoutput for the minor commodity groups as foreach of the detailed commodity. items, since sev-eral items whose, output is estimated separatelyare combined in the total within a single minorcommodity group. And this reduction of the pos-sible error in the estimating procedure is stillgreater in the major commodity divisions, the fourcategories that are distinguished in our final setof estimates. The initial estimates were made asdetailed as possible, but the results were subse-quently combined into groups so large that thefinal values would be little affected by the possiblecrudities of the estimating procedure at the earlierand more detailed stages of the investigation.
By comparing Tables 1—1, 1—2, and 1—4 a criticalreader can easily see which particular minor com-modity groups are likely to be distorted by errorsimplicit in our simple method of estimating thevalue of output for the detailed commodity itemsnot reported separately in some Census years. Itis difficult to measure this effect quantitatively.But, on the whole, the value of output for theminor commodity groups is not greatly affectedby the crudity of the estimating procedure; andthe few groups for which it is likely to be greatly
[16]
CLASSIFICATION OF MANUFACTURED COMMODITIES
affected, may be recombired into more compre-hensive divisions, in order to avoid substantialerrors.
c Adjustment of selected industries in 1919 and 1929The Census of Manufactures reported for 1919the output of all manufacturing establishments,excluding only those units that had a gross valueof output less than $500; but since 1919 it has ex-einpted from coverage establishments with a grossvalue of output under For the manufac-turing industry as, a whole, and for all save a fewindustries, this rise in the exemption limit causedonly an insignificant difference in total output,and had little effect on the movement from 1919to 1921. In a few industries, however, the outputof establishments with a gross value from $500 to$5,000 accounted for more than 2 or 3 per cent oftotal output, and for these an adjustment wasmade to render the value of output for 1919 com-parable witirthat for 1921 and subsequent years.4The total adjustment (i.e., deduction from the1919 output) amounted to less than 60 milliondollars, an exceedingly minor correction whencompared not only with the total output of manu-factures in 1919, but even with the outkut o. thethirteen industries in question.
Another minor adjustment was made for Se-lected industries in 1929. For that year the Censusof Manufactures asked for reports on the value ofsales rather than of output. For most industriesthis shift in the basis of reporting from productionto sales involved no significant change. But forseventy-six industries, in which inventories of fin-ished products were assumed.to be important, theCensus asked for reports on the value of output,and has supplied separate data on changes in in-ventories (in Distribution of Sales of Manufac-turing Plants, Table 3). Where such inventorychanges were relatively insignificant, or occurredin industries whose products were classified by usas unfinished, the reported production values werenot adjusted. But for some industries, producingfinished commodities and showing significantchanges in inventories, values for sales.rather than
for output were used because we wished to esti-mate eventually the distributive and transporta-tion margins in 1929; and for this purpose data onsales by manufacturers were more thandata on output.
However, the effect o. the adjustment on thetotals for the minor commodity groups was soslight as to'impair but little their comparal)ility asbetween 1929 and other years. This is indicated inthe accompanying tabulation which compares, forthe five commodity groups affected by the inven-tory adjustment, the estimate of sales with theestimate of production, the latter based on theassumption di at the breakdown by channels of usein Distribution of Sales of Manufacturing Plantsapplied to production as well as to sales.

3 ALLOCATION OF MIXED COMMODITYITEMS AMONG CONSTITUENT CLASSES
When a commodity item could be definitely clas-sified as representing a finished commodity, a con-struction material or another type of unfinishedproduct, the adjustments described above wereadequate. But for many commodity items diver-sity in use was so appreciable as to prevent theassignment of the entire value of output to a Sin-gle major class. For these commodities outputtotals were analyzed further in order to segregatethose parts which could be classified as represent-ing the value of the finished product, constructionmaterial, or other unfinished product. This allo-cation is presented in detail in Table 1—3, the notesto which describe the methods used for each mixedcommodity item.
The value of output of mixed commodity itemswas allocated among the major types of use by oneof three methods. The first was based on Censusof Manufactures reports on the quantity and valueof raw materials consumed by manufacturing es-tablishments. For several mixed commodity items,especially in the food group, these data were usedto estimate the unfinished part of the item, the

PART I
remainder constituting the finished part. For thosemixed commodities to which another method ofallocation was applicable the Census data on thevalue consurhed by manufacturing plants wereused only if the total unfinished as estimated onthe basis of them was larger than that resultingfrom the application of a different procedure. Thereason was the possibility that the Census of Man-ufactures reports on consumption of raw materialsunderestimate the value of the commodity utilizedin industrial operation. For other mixed commod-ity items, for which no such check was possible,the Census data on raw materials consumed wereused directly. The mixed commodity items towhich this first method was applied, and the de-tailed data underlying its application, are set forthin Note A to Table 1—3.
The second method of allocation was based onthe Census data in Distribution of Sales of Manu-facturing Plants and on the details in the Censusof Wholesale Distribution for 1929. The formergives for every industry the proportion of totaloutput sold to wholesale outlets of various types,to retailers, to industrial consumers, and to ulti-mate consumers. The sales to industrial consum-ers by manufacturing plants, when applied to themixed commodity item, result in the first estimateof the unfinished part of the corresponding total.
Sales to retailers may be assumed to be largelydestined for ultimate consumers, and hence rep-resent finished commodities. But sales by manu-factitring plants to wholesale outlets must be an-alyzed further to show what part of the sales bywholesalers is to industrial consumers, and hencerepresents another unfinished part of the mixedcommodity total. This estimate of sales by whole-salers to industrial consumers is undertaken onthe basis of the detailed distribution of sales for1929 in the U. S. Summary of Wholesale Distribu-tion. Thus, for the mixed commodity items allo-cated l)y the second method, the unfinished partrepresents the portion based on the percentages ofsales of the corresponding commodity group toindustrial consumers by the manufacturing plants,either directly Or through the channels of whole-sale trade. Note B to Table 1—3 describes thismethod in detail, lists the mixed commodity itemsto which it has been applied, and shows the per-centages used in this breakdown of mixed corn-moclity items.
Both methods must, obviously, be checked andsupplemented with other information on the al-location of commodities among the major typesof use. Neither can determine the allocation of a
mixed commodity item to construction materialsor other u'nfinished products. Besides, even whenthe allocation is to finished or unfinished, bothmethods should be checked whenever possible.Tb this end, additional information was culledfrom the available published sources. Othersources of information were trade associations andcommodity experts, to whom all estimates werecirculated with a request that they review the esti-mated allocation of the mixed commodity itemsand suggest any modifications or changes thatseemed advisable. Note C to Table 1—3 presentsin detail all the items allocated by a procedureother than the first two, and cites the source of theinformation determining each allocation.
The principal limitation of the allocation of themixed commodity items is that most of the dataare for 1929. For example, in recent years theCensus of Manufactures data on the consumptionof raw materials are available in detail only for1929, and sometimes for'1931. Since Distributionof Sales of Manufacturing Plants is available onlyfor 1929 the second method camiot be applied toother years.5 And most of the published and Un-1)ublished information on the distribution ofcommodities among various uses is available alsoonly for recent years. For this reason most mixedcommodity items for years other than 1929 wereallocated hyapplying to the total the percentagesestablished for 1929. The items excepted are thosefor which published or unpublished informationthrew some light on the changes in the allocationover the period studied. Fortunately such infor-mation was available for most items in which 'thechanges were especially marked, and hence hadaroused the attention of students.
In addition to this important qualification ofthe allocation for years other than 1929 two com-ments on the results of this analysis are of interest.First, our methods quite possil)ly underestimatesomewhat the unfinished part of the mixed com-modity total, and hence overestimate the finishedpart, particularly of the items that were estimatedon the basis of the consumption of raw materials.However, since the most important allocationswere checked by correspondence with trade asso-ciations and commodity experts, the error is per-haps not great.
Second, at this stage of our analysis we consid-ered as finished not only the part'of the mixedcommodity total that goes to ultimate consumers,l)ut also that which is exported. This interpreta-5 Similar data in the Censuses for 1935 appeared too late to beutilized in the present study.
[18]
CLASSIFICATION OF MANUFACTURED COMMODITIES
tion is necessary, because in both the first and sec-ond methods of allocation we subtract from thetotal as unfinished only that part which flows todomestic industrial consumers. Similarly, in ob-taining information from trade associations wetook care to emphasize that the finished part, inour definition, included the part exported. Only ata later stage in our analysis, when we passed fromdomestic production to production destined fordomestic consumption, did our groups of finishedcommodities exclude completely all unfinishedproducts. But even at the present stage of theanalysis, unfinished products destined for exportconstitute merely a minor fraction of the finishedcommodity items.
The adequacy of the allocation for. both 1929and other years may be.judged critically from thedetailed notes to Table 1—3. We now merely indi-cate the importance of the mixed commodityitems in the minor or major commodity groups•(Table I—a). The comparison of mixed outputwith that directly classifiable in the major andminor commodity gr@ups shows the area withinwhich the estimating described above had to beundertaken, and the possible importance that er-rors in the estimates would have in the totals forthe minor and major commodity classes, respec-tively.
Of the grand total, 39.8 billion dollars, of fin-ished commodities, plus construction materialsbut excluding the value of servicing, 30.9 billion,or 78 per cent, were classified as finished or con-struction materials directly, without further anal-ysis as mixed commodity items. Total output ofthe latter accounted in 1929 for 18.3 billion dol-lars, of which 8.9 billion were allocated to eitherfinished commodities or construction materials,and the rest, 9.4.billion dollars, to unfinished. Thearea within which the estimating was done was,therefore, fairly wide, and the addition to the totalresulting from the estimate, fairly substantial. Still,if we assume that the distinction between finished,construction materials, other unfinished, andmixed was correct, an error of even 20 per cent inthe allocation of the mixed commodity total, arather improbable magnitude, would imply anerror of less than 5 per cent in the total of finishedcommodities and construction materials.
Of greater significance and interest is the di-verse importance of the mixed commodity itemsamong the minor commodity groups and the fourmajor commodity classes. Naturally, the mixeditems are of greatest importance among commodi-ties with a slight degree of fabrication and rela-
[19]
tively short average life. It is, therefore, notsurprising to find that in such minor groups asfoodstuffs, petroleum products, or dry goods andnotions, the proportion of the total finished valueobtained as a result of the allocation of mixeditems is large. On the other hand, in groups cover-ing such highly fabricated products as musical in-struments, heavy household appliances, passengercars, or industrial machinery, there is little possi-bility of immediate consumption in a businessprocess. Consequently, the estimating procedureby which mixed items were allocated is of greatestimportance for perishable goods and constructionmaterials; of much less importance for the semi-durable group; of some significance for consum-ers' durable products; and of practically no signifi-cance for the producers' durable group. For ourfinal estimates of capital formation the threegroups—construction materials, consumers' du-rable, and producers' durable—are most impor-tant. For two groups the allocation of mixedproducts is of small or no importance; for con-struction materials it is based upon diverse, spe-cific information, rather than upon the usualmethods of value of materials consumed by manu-facturing plants or distribution of sales.
4 COMPARISON WITH NET VALUE OFMANU FACTURES
Tables 1—4 to 1—6 bring together the results of thevarious adjustments and estimates, and show thevalue of output for the minor commodity groups,total output of construction materials, and thevalue of services rendered by manufacturing es-tablishments, for each Census year. To completethe record, the estimated values of unfinishedproducts are given in Table 1—7, for sixteenmajor Census groups.
The brief recapitulation and comparison withthe Census totals (Table I—b) show that our anal-ysis does not account for the entire output re-ported in the Census, and, on the other hand, addsafew items not reported there. We found no roomin our classification for the following commocli-ties and industries reported in the Census: gas (acommodity reported under two industries), mo-tion pictures (industry), and poultry killing (in-dustry).° On the other hand, we supplied estimatesfor the coffee and spice, and the gTindstone, pulp-stone, and millstone industries for years for whichthe Census failed to include them. However, the

PART I
major source of discrepancy between our total andthe Census lies in the incompleteness, mentiOnedabove, of the allocation in the Censusof 'other products' among the 'secondary prod-ucts'. The resulting difference ranges from 0.8 percent in 1931 to 1.8 per cent in 1919 (last line ofTable I—b).
The relative stability of the percentage distri-bution between finished and unfinished commod-ities is interesting. If servicing is included with
• finished products, and construction materials withunfInished, the former combined group consti-tutes on the average about 55 per cent of the total,ranging from 52.4 to 56.7 per cent. If we add con-struction materials to the finished group, the aver-age percentage of the total becomes more than 61,ranging from 60.4 to 63.9. Notwithstanding theirstability these percentages apparently fluctuatewith cycles in the value of manufacturing output.In years of contraction, such as 1921, 1927, and1931, the output of unfinished products declinesmore appreciably than the total of finished, con-struction materials, and servicing; as a result, theirpercentage of total manufacturing output de-clines. When the value Of Output rises, as in 1923and 1929, the output of unfinished commodities
• rises more than that of other commodities; theirpercentage of the total accordingly rises. This isdue largely to the preponderance among unfin-ished commodities of metal products, a groupmore susceptible to cyclical rises and declines thanare the other groups of manufactured products.
The main results of our analysis can be com-pared .with the net value of manufactures, meas-ured so as to exclude the duplication that oc-curs because the product of one manufacturingestablishment is consumed in the productive proc-esses of another. Such estimates are available forevery odd year in the period covered, prepared for1929 by the Bureau of the Census and for otheryears by the Bureau of Foreign and DomesticCommerce. But the values measured differ fromours in one important respect. In estimating thenet value of manufactures, only those manufac-tured products are considered unfinished whichare consumed directly in the productive processesof other manufacturing plants. In our study, allthose manufactured products are considered un-finished which are consumed in the productiveprocesses not only of other manufacturing plants,but also of other business enterprises. Moreover,consumption of non-durable goods need not bein production proper to render them unfinished inour classification; it may occur in the process of
management. For, example, in the estimate of thenet value of manufactures, gasoline, cement, orlumber are considered unfinished only to the ex-tent that they are consumed by manufacturingplants, while in our study the parts that are con-sumed by construction enterprises, distribution,transportation, or other business agencies, are alsoconsidered unfinished. Or, with respect to paperand printing products, the estimate of the netvalue of manufactures includes among finishedsuch items as account books and advertising cir-culars, since they are not used directly in the man-ufacturing process by other manufacturing plants,even though they may be used in the offices ofmanufacturing establishments. In our study, allthese products, whether used by manufacturingfirms, trading units; advertising companies, orprofessional units, are considered unfinished.
Obviously the definition of unfinished productsused in our study is more comprehensive than thatused by the Bureau of the Census or the Bureau ofForeign and Domestic Commerce in adjusting forthe duplication among manufacturing establish-ments; accordingly, the volume of finished manu-factured products as estimated in our study shouldbe significantly smaller than that obtained as thenet product of manufacturing industries by thetwo Bureaus.
Because net value of manufactures is estimatedin some detail for 1929 we begin with a compar-ison for that year r (Table I—c).
The Census Bureau estimates show the net valueof manufactures originating in the industries ofeach group, i.e.., the gross value adjusted for thevalue of domestic sernimanufactures consumed.Our estimates show the net value of manufacturesproduced by the industries of each group, i.e., thegross value adjusted for the value of domestic semi-manufactures produced. We calculated the valueof finished production for each group by subtract-ing from gross value the value of unfinished prod-ucts that had been segregated. The remainder,therefore, covers not only finished products andservicing, but also construction materials, ex;cluded industries, and the unallocable part thathad to be omitted from our classification.
The Census total exceeds our total by slightlyover 4 billion dollars (Table I—c). This excess ofthe net value of manufactures over our compa-rable total of finished products, servicing, and con-struction materials is, however, underestimated inTable I—c, since in column 6we include 0.8 bil-7 See Materials Used in 1929, by Tracy E.Thompson (Washington, 1933).

NET OF MANUFACTURES AND TOTALS OF FINISHED COMMODITIES, SERVICING, CONSTRUCTION MA-TERIALS AND THE UNALLOCATED REMAINDER, SIXTEEN INDUSTRY GROUPS COMPARED, 1929
(millions of dollars)
SOURCE: Census figures from Tracy E. Thompson, Materials Used in Manufactures: 1929 (Washington, 1933), Table 16, p. 31.
lion dollars of unallocated 'other products' whichwere considered largely unfinished. A correct esti-mate of the discrepancy in 1929 is then 4.8 billiondollars, the additional 0.8 billion being primarilyin the groups of food and kindred products andof transportation equipment.
The two estimates for the totals of food andkindred products (if we allow for the unallocatedpart), forest products, leather and its manufac-tures, and perhaps textiles and their products areclose. In each of these groups, obviously, the valuesof domestic semimanufactures and manufac-tured fuels consumed and produced are aboutequal, and the definition of unfinished productsin the two estimates is fairly coextensive. For rub-ber products, and perhaps, stone, clay and glassproducts, the disparity is substantial in percentageterms, but does not contribute greatly to the totaldisparity. Finally, in an important set of industrygroups—iron and steel, nonferrous metals, ma-chinery, and transportation equipment—the twototals check if we combine the groups, on theground that they are closely related in the indus-trial system and some consume primarily the semi-finished products of the others. If, for these four
[24]
industry groups, the differences in column 7 areadded, the net total is ---54 million dollars, an in-significant difference. It should really be positiverather than negative, since the total for transpor-tation equipment in column 6 should be reducedby some proportion of the unallocated prod-ucts' (say 200 or 300 million dollars). Such a posi-tive discrepancy would serve to reduce the nega-tive item in column 7 for railroad repair shops,and to balance the negative remainder in thisgroup and in the miscellaneous industries groupover against the positive discrepancies in the stone,clay and glass, and the textile groups.
In the industry groups mentioned so far, the dis-parity between the two sets of estimates can thusbe largely interpreted as the result of a differencebetween the volume of semifinished products con-sumed and the volume produced; the differencein definition of unfinished products appears oflittle significance in these twelve industry groups.In the other four groups—paper products, print-ing and publishing, chemicals, and petroleumproducts—in which the disparity between the twototals is highly significant and consistently posi-tive, on the contrary, the source of the disparity

seems to lie in the difference between the defini-tions of unfinished products. This is confirmed bythe values of unfinished products for these groupsin Table 1—4. The most significant Items that wereconsidered unfinished in our study, but that areconsidered largely finished by the Census Bureau,are (with the value of their output in 1929, in bil-lions of dollars): convertible paper products(largely containers for trade), 0.6; advertising, 1.1;commercial printing, 0.9; fertilizers and oil, cakeand meal, 0.6; gasoline, 0.6. These few items aloneamount to 3.8 billion dollars, while the total dis-parity,in those four groups is 5.0 billion. Thus itis the difference in the definition of unfinishedproducts that accounts for the total discrepancybetween the estimate of the net value of manufac-tures for 1929 and our estimate of the value offinished commodities, servicing, and constructionmaterials; and once that is taken into account, thetwo totals may be said to check roughly.
This comparison reconciles our estimates andthose of Census Bureau for one year, 1929. InTable I—d we compare the value of output com-puted in our study, including finished products,

SOURCE: Census data for 1919—27 from Commerce Yearbook,1932, 1, 94; for 1931 and 1933, from Census of Manufactures for1933, Summary by Industries. Our totals include also industriesomitted from our classification.
servicing, and construction materials, with theestimated net value of manufactures for 19 19—33,as shown in the Commerce Yearbook.
Our total is less than the net value of manufac-tures in all years except 1921. But the degree ofboth absolute and relative disparity varies appre-ciably. The greatest difference occurs in 1929, theyear for which the most accurate estimates of thenet product were obtained by the Bureau of theCensus. In other years the difference is much less
and the reversal of the sign in 1921 israther surprising.
It is difficult to appraise the accuracy of theCommerce Yearbook totals without access to thefull details of the estimating procedure. Themethod used up to 1929 is described briefly asfollows:
The series before 1929 is perhaps not compara-ble with that for 1929, which based on a study inMaterials Used in Manufactures: 1929, by TracyE. Thompson (Washington, 1933). Finally, forlater years, 1931 and 1933, the estimates are givenin round numbers in the summary of the Censusfor 1933, and are the result of "a careful estimate
[of] the net value (at f.o.b. factory prices,not retail prices) of finished manufactured prod-ucts, in the form in which theyreach the ultimateconsumer. . .
The internal evidence of the absolute figuresand of the percentages in Table I—d raises ques-tions as to the accuracy and comparability of thenet value series over the period. First, the per-centage that this net value constitutes of the grossis almost identical in 1919 and 1921, and in 1923and 1925. Such identity is especially questionablefor 1919 and 1921, years in.which economic con-ditions were so strikingly different. A large propor-tion of domestic semifinished manufactures is in
"It is . . . possible to estimate fairly closely the value ofmanufactures by summarizing the available information as tothe value of the major individual raw materials and of theimported partly manufactured materials used by factories. Itis, believed that this method gives totals for the cost of mate-rials, exclusive of duplication, that are subject to a margin oferror not greater than 10 percent. The value added by nianti-facture is a definite figure obtained by deducting from the sumtotal of the value of all products the sum total of the cost ofall materials. Since this 'value added 'by manufacture is, in thecase of products other than foodstuffs; more than three timesas great as the value.of the raw 'and imported materials used,the combined total net value of product (materials plus valueadded by manufacture) is subject to only a relatively smallmargin of error—perhaps 3 or 4 per cent up or down from theestimated figure. To avoid giving the appearance of exactitudc,however, the accompanying table and chart present the figuresof net value of manufactures in the form a maximum andminimum range" (Commerce Yearbook, 1926, 1, 93).

the metals and machinery groups. Thus, in 1929unfinished products in the iron and steel, nonfer-rous metal, machinery, and transportation equip-ment groups amounted, according to our calcula-tion, to 10.3 billion dollars, out of a total ofunfinished products of 27.3 billion, and as com-pared to the Census total of domestic semimanu-factures and manufactured fuels of about 23 bil-lion. It is the particularly acute decline in theoutput of these groups during depression thataccounts largely for the decline in the percentageof our unfinished products to the total in a yearlike 1921, and for a corresponding rise in the per-centage accounted for by finished commodities,servicing, and construction materials. But no suchrise in the percentage of net value to gross produc-tion is shown in the Census estimates, even thoughsuch a rise did occur in the Census figures in 1927.Similarly, the decline from 1929 to 1931 is anotherground for doubt.
Another iniportant peculiarity that calls for ex-planation is the change in the estimated net valueof manufactures from 1927 to 1929. The absolutechange, if we compare the means of ranges, con-sisted of a rise of 7.05 billion dollars; the grossvalue increased 7.7 billion dollars. This implies
[26]
that the increase in the value of domestic semi-manufactures was only 0;65 billion. Since the valueof. these semimanufactured products in 1929 wasabout 23 billion dollars, this small percentage risein their output (about 3 per cent) as comparedwith the substantial rise in the output of finishedmanufactures (over 15 per cent) is, if true, an ex-ceptional phenomenon demanding further inves-tigation. An obvious explanation is that the moredetailed estimate for 1929 is not comparable withthose for either earlier or later years..
These comments are not intended as reflectionson the accuracy of the estimates of the net valueof manufactures, especially since for 1919—27 theyare described as accurate only within a certainrange. Nor are the variations in the difference be-tween our estimate of finished products, inclusiveof servicing and construction materials, and thenet value, so far as they are not due to differencesin scope, an indication of inaccuracies in the esti-mates derived in our study. On the contrary, thenecessarily rough comparison results in a faircheck of the two series of totals, in that ours is con-sistently lower, with a fairly reasonable absolutedifference.

2. This percentage was applied to the total of all other productsas reported in and 1919.3. This percentage was applied to a total of foodn.e.c., and processed nuts, other than peanuts (see also iiOte 8below).4. In 1929 and 1931 the value Of chickéti as inthe poultry, dressing and packing industry was added to totalfood preparations, n.e.c., in order to attain closerwith preceding years.5. This is the percentage of ice cream specialties included in atotal of other products and specialties. The values for specialtiesthus estimated were added to the values of ice cream.6. Prior to 1927 data for lard substitutes were available only intables contained in the reports on the meat packing industry.The figures obtained therefrom were raised to represent the en-tire industry on the basis of the 1927 ratio. Iii that year theestimated commodity total for the industry was 140.7 per cent ofthe value of lard substitutes.7. The figure for 1927 was revised to include salad oils on thebasis of the revision of the 1929 tOtal shown in the 19318. Prior Ld 1927 the Of prOcessed other thail peaithts,had tá be esiimated, the data haviiig been included in Indtistry117 (see irnte39. In 1933 this industry was not included in the Census. Theestimate fot year was based on an index of the crop valuesof almonds; walnuts and peanuts derived from data reported inthe YearboOk Of AgricuUure.10. The 1933 values were estimated on the basis of the percent-age changes from 1931 to 1933 shown in the amounts producedin the meat packing industry.11. These percentages represent a breakdown of other wovengoods, a miscellaneous classification reported in 1927 and earlier
The breakdown was determined by comparison with therevised 1927 data shown in the 1929 Census.12. These are percentages of a group designated minor products.The remaining 42.1 per cent presumably represents products notbelonging to the industries.13. In Table I—I many of the commodities manufactured in thecotton goods industry were combined in order to expedite latercomputation. Most 'of the commodities were, however, estimatedseparately, as indicated in the percentage analysis. The complex-ity of this analysis renders it desirable for those who may wish totrace the estimates of separate commodities to use Table 1—2only in conjunction with the original Census reports. The ac-curacy of' the various estimates is of little import in the studysince almost all of the commodities were assigned to Minor Com-modity Group 7. Those few which were assigned to other com-modity groups constitute but a small proportion of the totalvalue.14. The values of men's handkerchiefs thus estimated wereadded to the values of women's handkerchiefs similarly estimated(see note 15). The resultant totals were placed under the hand-kerchief industry (Industry 226).l4a. The apportionments of the different kinds of wearing ap-parel hetween men's and women's are approximations,based onwhatever scanty data were available.15. Prior to 1927 this industry was called Millinery and lacegoods and included Embroideries (219), Women's handkerchiefs(part of 226), Millinery (239), and Trimmings . . . (246). Theapportionment as shown totals only 99.8 per cent. In the actualcomputations, percentages were carried out to two places.16. In 1929, 1931 and 1933 the values for sewing machine cab-inets were removed from total household furniture in order toassure comparability with the data for earlier years.17. In all the years in which values were reported for this classi-fication apportionment between household and business wasbased on the approximate output reported separately for thetwo groups. Thus in 1919 and 1921, 85 per cent was assigned to
household, and 15 per cent to business; in 1923, 1925, 1927 and192*, a per cent apportionment was used; while in 1933,an cent breakdown was used.18. In all years the values for radio cabinets were subtractedfrom household furniture. Prior to 1927 they were estimated byapplying to the values for radio sets in each year the 1927 per.centage, 18.6, of the value of cabinets to the total value of radiosets (see Industry 1303).19. In 1919 and 1921 the commodity totals for the entire industry.including wall board, were apportioned between pulp goods andwall board on the basis of the respective industry totals. Thus in1921, 42.7 per cent was assigned to pulp goods, and 57.3 per centto board; in 1919 the percentages were 67.4'and 32.6 respec-tively. The estimates for wall board were then added to Industry1020 (see note 28 below).20. Paper goods, n.e.c., include the following miscellaneous con-verted papet- pioduets listed in the 1929 Census volume: bottlecaps, coated hOok paper cups, dishes,spoons, etc., glazed and fancy arid tape,lace paper, paper napkins, papeteries, rölh, toilet
'paper tOwels, paperboard fi'/ilfed waterWrap'ping 'paper; waxed and all other converted
paper and paperboard products. In 1927 the total' value of theabove was per cent of the value of products reported forthe paper gOodi, industry. This perceiitage was applied tothe indtistry totals the earlier years.21.. The vahies from 1925 through 1931 were taken from the 1931Census report because in that report slight reviSiöhs in the datawere made for those years. So far as possible, the figures for theearlier years were rendered comparable with those for the lateryears: In 1925 and preceding years, the valtie for compressed andliquefied gases was subtracted. PriOr to 1925 the output ofpyroxylin solutions was estimated; and removed lii 1921 and1919 on the basis of the 1923 'percentage (20.2) to pyroxylinplastic.s and solutions; similarly the Output of rayon was esti-mated in 1921 and 1919 on the basis of the 1923 percentage (85.9)to total rayon and other plastics.22. Prior to 1929 the values were estimated on the basis of thepercentage, 49.0, that the value of oils, constituted in 1927of a total including oils, n.e.c., and lubricating oils not made 1npetroleum refineries, The remaining 51.0 per cent representedlubricating oils not made in petroleum refineries.23. The for rubber cement prior to 1927 were not usedsince rubber cement was already covered in the mucilage, paste• - - industry in those years.24. To the values of other manufactures of rubber thus derivedwere added the values of rubber clothing. The totals of othermanufactures thus include in all years several commodities thatmight seem to belong under finished. Since thesewere, however, already included elsewhere in Census (rubberclothing under the clothing industries, for example), they weretreated as unfinished, i.e., Census duplication.25. The 1931 and 1933 values are not strictly comparable withthose of preceding years, the three industries having been com-bined and not presented in strictly comparable detail. In 1933the total for the combined industries was apportioned as in 1931.26. After 1927 this industry was no longer included in the Censusof Manufactures. Data, however, were obtained from Minei'aiResources of the U. S., 1931, Pt. 1, pp. 113, 114; and fromMinerals Yearbook, 1934, p. 890; the figures reported thereinwere raised on the basis of the 1927 relationship of the Censusfigure to the Bureau of Mines total for grindstones, pulpstonesand millstones. The former was 117.7 per cent of the latter.27. After the adjustments required for other pottery productshad been made, the values of red and brown ware were addedin 1919, 1921 and 1923 in order to render the residuals for allyears comparable.

28. In 1919 antI 1921 the estimated value of wall hoard had tohe added (see note 19 above).29. The values of these products were adjusted in 1919 in orderto remove estimated consumption in own works. All such adjust.ments were based on the proportions in 1921 o[ such consump-tion to total production.30. The values for 1931 and 1933 arc not comparable with thosefor preceding years, indeterminate amounts of plumbers' brassgoods being included in Industries 1119 and 1121 (see note 33below).31. In 1925, to the amount reported for parts in the 1927 Censuswas added the estimated value of parts for steam anti hot-waterheating boilers and radiators, which in 1925 had been includedwith steam fittings. The estimate was made by the use of 1927percentages. The total value of parts thus derived was thenadjusted to agree with a 1929 revision of the 1927 value of parts,the revised figure constituting 99.8 per cent of the original valuereported.32. In 1933 and 1931 the value of other heating and cookingapparatus and supplies included the following items reportedin the Census: gasoline water heaters, gasoline camp stoves, gasburners, parts for oil and gas burners, incinerators, coffee urnsand tanks (1931 only), waffle irons (1931 only), iron cookingutensils (1931 only), other cafeteria, hotel and cooking appara-tus, and heating and cooking equipment not reported by kind.In 1929, it included in addition to the item reported as otherheating and ,cooking apparatus and supplies the values of gaso-line water heaters, gasoline camp stoves, and incinerators.33. The data for 1931 1933 are not comparable with thosefor previous years, since indeterminate amounts of plumbers'supplies are included (see also note 30 above).34. Prior to 1927 the totals as reported for the industry were ad-justed in order to remove machine tool accessories, as indicatedby the percentage, 65.2, of the revised 1927 total for the industryto the unrevised.35. The data for farm tools were taken from the, special Censusreports on farm equipment in 1923, 1925, 1927 and 1931. In 1919and 1921 the values of shovels, spades, scoops and hoes as re-ported in the tool industry were assumed to represent farm tools.36. In 1921 and 1919 the values of wire products made only inthe wire industries were reported by the Census. These figures(excluding insulated wire and cable and bare wire) were raised,on the basis of the 1923 data, to cover wire products made in allindustries; in 1923 the total value was 195.9 per of theamount made in the wire industries. The commodity totals for1921 and 1919 were then apportioned as in 1923.37. Data for the agricultural implements industry for all years,except 1933 and 1919, were secured from the special Censusreports on farm equipment. For convenience the figures takenfrom those reports were divided into two groups. The contentof the first is indicated in the description of agricultural imple-ments given under Industry 1301 in Table I—I. The variousclasses of implements included represent the first seven classesof implements described in the definition of the agriculturalimplements industry given in the 1929 Census. The desired totalswere obtained simply by adding together the correspondingclasses as listed in the farm equipment reports; the values of theimplements and the values of the parts and attachments for theimplements were summated separately. The data for 1925 andearlier years are not strictly comparable with those of later yearsbecause fertilizer machinery was excluded in the earlier years.Miscellaneous agricultural implements include all other typesof farm equipment that can be presumed to be produced pri-marily by the agricultural implements industry. In 1931 and1929 the following items were selected from the farm equipmentreport: all barn and barnyard equipment, corncribs, grain bins,eveners, singletrees, doubletrees and neck yokes, farm gates,scythes, scythe snaths, lightning rods, silos, stump pullers andmiscellaneous items. miscellaneous parts, attachments and
parts for barn and barnyard equipment and the value of attach-ments and parts given at the end of the Census table dealingwith miscellaneous farm equipment were utilized. The latterfigure includes an indeterminate amount of attachments andparts not belonging to the agricultural implements industry.For 1927 the same procedure was followed for miscellaneous im-plements and parts as for 1929. For 1925 a similar procedure wasalso followed, although several other reported items were in-cluded: cane mills, cider mills, scrapers, stalk cuffers, varioustypes of fertilizing machinery, etc. A similar method was adoptedfor 1923 except that it was possil)le to suhtract certain undesireditems included in miscellaneous parts and attachments. For 1921a similar method was followed, except that the value of forks,hoes and rakes was removed from the value of all other products.Attachments and repair parts could not be broken down andwere thus treated as a single total. Finally, for 1919 the totalvalue of the agricultural implements industry corrected for oand s, as reported in the 1919 Census volume, was divided accord-ing to the 1921 proportions—68.4 per cent to implements and31.6 per cent to parts.For 1933 the value of agricultural implements and other prod-ucts not reported separately was apportioned between otherproducts and custom and repair work, 8.8 per cent, and agri-cultural implements, 91.2 per cent.The amount estimated as agricultural implements was then ap-portioned between implements, 59.7 per cent, and parts, 40.3per cent, as indicated by the commodity table.The 1933 data are probably not strictly comparable with thosefor earlier years since the coverage of certain miscellaneous im-plements is uncertain.38. For 1929 the revised figure as shown in the 1931 Census wasused except that the value of relays presented separately in thatreport was re-added. For both 1929 and 1931 the value of poleline hardware was added in order to render the data comparablewith those for earlier years. In 1931 it was necessary to sub-tract an estimated value for electric locomotives. The estimatewas made on the basis of the percentage in 1927, 7.3, that thevalue of electric locomotives was of the total of other electricalmachinery (as calculated) and electric locomotives. For 1921 and1919 the desired values were obtained by totaling all the elec-
machinery items specilIcally classified and presented in ourvarious subgroups, and subtracting this total from the grandtotal for the industry as reported in the Census.The values for the earlier years are not strictly comparable withthose for the later years because of the inclusion of small butindeterminate amounts belonging to items specifically classifiedin later years.39. The values for various types of machinery presented underthis industry were obtained from the special Census reports onthe production of machinery by principal classes. In Ihe earlieryears certain types were not reported separately and could notbe satisfactorily estimated; the missing data presumably are allincluded under machinery not reported by specified class. This,of course, affects the comparability of values by distinct types ofmachinery but not of the totals.Before determining the values for any of the constituent itemsof the industry, it was necessary to adjust the industry totals for1927 and all prior years. First, in accordance with the 1927 re-vision designed to eliminate the value of machine-tool accessories(which were 1.0 per cent of the inclusive total value of productsfor that year) the industry totals for all earlier years were re-duced. Then on the basis of the net correction for o and s in1929, plus 6.4 per cent, all years prior to 1929 were raised. Thesechanges rendered the resultant commodity totals relatively com-parable, and in 1927 and 1925 they were apportioned on thebasis of the Census division of the unadjusted figures. Prior to1925 the 1925 percentages were utilized. The percentage appor-tionments [or 1927 and 1925 follow:

To obtain the values for 'not reported by specified class' the re-spective totals of specified machinery were subtracted from thetotals of all machinery as estimated above. The resultant figuresare not comparable from year to year because of less detailedreporting by type in the earlier years.The values derived for parts and miscellaneous for 1925 andearlier years were apportioned as in 192'7: 95.7 per cent to mis-cellaneous, and 4.3 per cent to parts.The values for miscellaneous were then made comparable by theremoval of industrial furnaces in 1929 per cent of total mis-cellaneous including furnaces as in 1931), and of industrial fur-iiaces and oil burners prior to 1929 (1.4 per cent of the inclusivetotal of miscellaneous in 1929).40. For 1919 and 1921 the values for machine tools and partswere estimated on the basis of the percentages for 1923, 67.9 and19.2, respectively, that the revised 1923 figures were of the nfl-revised 1923 total as shown in the 1923 Census.41. From 1923 to 1931 the values for farm pumps and pumpingequipment, and for parts and accessories thereof, were takenfrom the special Census reports on farm equipment.42. From 1921 through 1931 the desired values were obtainedfrom the special Census reports on farm equipment. For 1921 itwas necessary to estimate the value of parts. This was done onthe basis of the percentage, 6.2, the value of parts to that ofwindmills and windmill towers in 1923. For 1919 the values forboth windmills and parts were estimated on the basis of thepercentage that each constituted in 1921 of the unadjusted in-dustry total: 60.5 and 3.8 respectively.The data for 1933 are not strictly comparable with those forpreceding years, having been secured from the engines, turbines,
industry. (Industry 1304)43. The data For the years prior to 1929 are not comparable withthose for 1929, 1931 and 1933. They are estimates of the amountsof the tools, not including edge tools . . - and the foundry andmachine.shop products, n.e.c., industries which belonged to themachine-tool accessories industry as defined in 1929. The esti-mates are based on comparisons of the original with the revisedfigures for the tool and for the foundry-shop products industry.in 1927. In the tool industry the revised figure was 65.2 per centof the original; in the foundry-shop products industry the re-vised total was 99.0 per cent of the original. Thus in all yearsprior to 1929, 34.8 per cent of the tool industry and 1.0 per centof the foundry products industry were considered to belong tothe machine-tool accessories industry. Additional indeterminateamounts of machine-tool accessories are included, before 1929,in the machine-tool industry.
44. Prior to 1925 the totals for parts and repair work were esti-mated on the basis of the percentage, 1.5, of the 1925 figure tothe industry total in that year.45. Prior to 1931 the Census reported bodies and parts made inother industries (excluding the motor-vehicle industry). On thebasis of 1931 figures, special adjustments were made in order toinclude bodies and parts manufactured in the motor:vehicleindustry. First the difference between the revised and the un-revised s for 1931 was obtained. This difference was expressed asa percentage of o (excluding trailers) of the motor-vehicle in-dustry. The percentage derived, 45, was then applied to the valueof o in all preceding years, the estimates of repair work havingfirst been subtracted from o as reported by the Census. Theresultant figures were added to the commodity totals for thebodies and parts industry. Despite these adjustments, however,it is possible that the commodity totals, especially for the earlieiyears, are still under-estimates since it is believed that largerproportions of bodies and parts were included in the motor-vehicle industry during the earlier years. Thus, the use of 1931percentages probably results in minimum estimates for theseyears.46. The values of pleasure-craft for 1923 through 1933 were esti-mated by adding to 20.0 per cent of ihe value of vessels of 5 grosstons and over the value of all vessels under 5 tons, except life.boats. The 20.0 per cent estimate was obtained from a specialunpublished tabulation of Census schedules. The marked in-crease in ship building in 1921 and 1919, however, rendered thepercentage of dubious validity in those years. In its place anindex of vessels built under 5 tons, was applied to the 1923estimate of pleasure-craft of 5 gross tons and over.The values for lifeboats in years prior to 1927 were estimated onthe basis of the percentage, 1.9, that they were of the value ofall vessels under 5 tons in 1927.The values of commercial craft were derived by subtraction ofthe final pleasure-craft estimates from the values of all shipsand boats.47. The values for brushes not reported by kind were dividedproportionately in each year among the several types.48. The data for dairy, cheese-factory and butter-factory ma-chinery were taken from the Census tabulations of machinery byspecified classes. In 1919 the figure given was apportioned as in1921 between miscellaneous dairy . . - machinery (48.6 per cent)and milking machines and cream separators (51.4 per cent).The data on equipment and supplies include all the commodi-ties produced in the industry except the machinery listed sepa.rately. The figure for 1931 represents a total of such items aswere discovered elsewhere in the Census, notably in the specialreport on farm equipment. For 1933, only the value of broodersand incubators as derived from Industry 1119 could thus befound. The values of the other commodities could not be traced.49. From 1927 through 1933 the data on nautical and surveyinginstruments were removed from the Census totals as reportedand placed in Industry 1631 in order to render the total com-parable with those of preceding years.

The values analyzed in this table are for commodities designated by M inTable I—i. The methods used in allocating these values by constituent partsare described in Notes A, B and C immediately following this table. The capi-tal letters A, B or C in parentheses following each commodity title refer to thenote in which the method of allocation is described. As in the other tables inthis Part, the Census industry numbers are those given in the 1929 Census ofManufactures.

ALLOCATION OF MIXED COMMODITIES BASED ON CENSUS REPORTS OF MATERIALS CONSUMED INMANUFACTURING
The following commodities were apportioned on the basisof the amount estimated as consumed in manufacturing estab-lishments, that amount of course representing unfinished:•butter; condensed and evaporated milk; powdered milk, etc.;flavoring extracts, and sirups; flour; shortenings (except lard)and vegetable cooking oils; lard; sugar; baking powder,yeast, etc.
The adequacy of the method is dependent on the reliabilityof tables appearing in the Census of Manufactures, 1929which show for various industries the value of principal ma-terials consumed. The figures given for each industry representat least 50 per cent of the industry in terms of value ofproducts (usually covering between 75 and 95 per cent). Con-sequently they had to be raised in order to provide completecoverage, on the assumption that the part of an industry not
reporting materials consumed consumes them in the samerelative proportion to value of products as the rest of theindustry.
After the necessary adjustments for a complete coveragehad been made the values for specific materials were estimatedfor the years prior to 1929 on the basis of the average of1929and 1931 relationships (if both were available) to totalcost of materials. For 1933, the 1931 apportionment was used.
It is highly probable that the estimates of unfinished ascalculated by the above method represent minima, since notall industries using specified materials report them as sucheven 1929.
Table A—i indicates the consumption of specified materialsby industries in which it could be estimated.

CLASSIFICATION OF MANUFACTURED COMMODITIES
Note B to Table 1—3
ALLOCATION OF MIXED COMMODITIES BASED ON DISTRIBUTION OF SALES FOR 1929
The method involves the use of Distribution of Sales of Man u-facturing Plants and the U. S. Suinmaiy of Wholesale Distribu-tion for 1929. From the former, percentage sales by industriesand parts of industries to wholesalers and direct to industrialconsumers were obtained; from the latter were derived the per-centage sales by wholesalers to industrial consumers.
In most instances percentage sales by wholesalers to indus-trial consumers were taken from Table 3 of the U. S. Sum-mary, which provides distribuLion of sales data for all types ofwholesaler. The general procedure included these steps:
a. The grouping selected was that most comparable with thecommodity l)eing analyzed.b. Total wholesale sales as reported in Table 3 were adjustedto eliminate duplication (i.e.,sales of agents, brokers, etc.) byuse of the percentage (luplication indicated by comparablecommodity group sales as estimated from Table 13 of the U. S.S U inina ry.c. Sales to in(lustrial consumers as reported in Table 3 werethen expressed as a percentage of adjusted total sales.d. This percentage was then applied to sales to wholesalers, aspreviously determined from Distribution of Sales of Manufac-turing Plants.
[71]
e. Total sales to ,industrial consumers were then obtained byaddition and the resultant figure or percentage assumed torepresent unfinished for 1929.f. The 1929 relationship was then used for all remaining years.
As an alternative procedure (used primarily in textiles, inwhich manufacturers' sales to agents, etc. are large, and/orsales to manufacturers' wholesale branches are small) data weretaken from Table 2 of the U. S. Summary, which presentssales distribution data for wholesalers only. The steps thenfollowed were similar to those outlined above, except that noadjustments for duplication were necessary.
When no comparable data were available in the WholesaleCensus the percentages were taken from the Distribution ofSales of Manufacturing Plants directly. In such cases entrieswere not made in column (2).
Table B—i presents the percentage apportionments for thoseindustries in which any variation of the Distribution o Salesmethod was utilized. It should be remembered that the methodresults in the inclusion of all. exports under finished. An as-terisk () indicates the use of Table 2 of the Wholesale Census.

SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON THE ALLOCATION OF MIXED COMMODITIES
1 10—Spices, ground:The allocation of spices into unfinished and finished was accom-plished by using a variation of the Distribution of Sales method.In 1929, 3.2 per cent of the sales of the total coffee and spicesindustry was direct to industrial consumers. It was assumed thatthis 3.2 per cent was composed entirely of spices, the figure thusderived being considered to represent unfinished spices (nowholesale data being available). For the years other than 1929the 1929 percentage was used.
113—Corn sirup, sugar, oil, and starch:The 1929 figure for unfinished obtained, from Distribution ofSales was extrapolated by means of an index of corn sirup, etc.,consumed in four industries: beverages, flavoring extracts, chew-ing gum and confectionery (for data see Note A to Table 1—3).The index thus derived was: 1919, 110.3; 1921, 80.9; 1923, 90.1;1925, 92.2; 1927, 98.7; 1929, 100.0; 1931, 65.9; 1933, 49.0.
1 19—Ice, manufactured:From an unpublished tabulation of the Bureau of the Census for1929 it was found that 55.4 per cent of manufactured ice was soldeither to retailers or directly to household consumers. The ap.proximate correctness of this percentage was verified by corre-spondence with the National Association of Ice Industries.
122—Malt:It was assumed that malt was used entirely for industrial pur-poses in 1919 and 1933 because of the legal existence of the maltbeverages industry in these years.
218—Dyeing and finishing textiles:The commodity total for the industry was apportioned in allyears on the basis of data obtained in 1929. In that year, thevalue of contract work was reported in Table 3, Distribution ofSales of Manufacturing Plants,. while an estimated value forsheets was obtained from the Bureau of the Census. The per-centages indicated were 3.22 for sheets, 52.34 for contract work,and 44.44 for the rest of the industry. For the allocation of therest of the industry a variation of the Distribution of Salesmethod was used. The sales ratios reported in Table 1, Distribu-
[73]
tion of Sales, were applied to a total including the entire indus-try except contract work. These showed 53.8 per ceni direct toindustrial consumers and 40.5 per cent to wholesalers. Sales towholesalers were further allocated by utilizing the percentageof piece goods (the classification most comparable to dyeing andfinishing) sold by wholesalers to industrial consumers. As indi-cated in Table 2, U. S. Summary of Wholesale Distribution, thisamounted to 48.7 per cent and was thus applied to sales to whole-salers. Total unfinished and total finished were then obtainedbut from finished was subtracted the value of sheets, as pre-viously computed. The final percentages thus derived (after theexclusion of sheets) showed 78.9 for unfinished and 21.1 forfinished. These percentages were applied to the values es-timated for the rest of the industry in all the other years.
244—Silk and rayon products:For 1919 through 1927 the breakdown was made primarily onthe basis of data for 1924 appearing in Distribution of Textiles,Bulletin No. 56, Harvard Bureau of Business Research, Table21, p. 96. This table provided data onthe distribution of salesof various types of silk goods (in total quantities billed as re-ported by silk manufacturers) and is summarized below.

trade, had to be apportioned. This was done on the basis ofdata taken from the Census of Wholesale Distribution in 1929.Table 2 of the U. S. Summary indicated that 66.5 per cent osilk and velvet piece goods were sold by wholesalers to industrial
Lack of more satisfactory data necessitated the appli-cation of this percentage to sales to wholesalers of all the com-modities treated in the above table. Thus it was indicated thatthe percentages of billings representing total unfinished wereas follows:
All the commodities not included above—yarns, fringes andgimps, silk warps and minor silk products—were consideredcompletely unfinished. The percentages were then applied tothe respective value figures in the various Census years, the re-sultant amounts being totaled and subtracted from the corn-inodity total for the industry in order to derive figures repre-senting finished.
In 1929, after a correction for inventory change (On the basis ofthe inventory decrease shown in Table 3 of Distribution of Sales)the usual Distribution of Sales procedure was followed. The salesratios derived for silk and rayon manufactures from Table I,Distribution of. Sales, were 59.9 per cent to wholesalers and 33.2per cent direct to industrial consumers after the inclusion ofinterplant transfers. Sales to wholesalers were further allocatedby utilizing the percentage of sales of piece goods, rayons andpiece goods, silks and velvets by wholesalers to industrial con-sumers. As indicated in Table 2 of the U. S. Summary of Whole.sale Distribution this percentage was 66.2 and it was applied tosales to wholesalers as previously determined. Total unfinishedand consequently total finished were then obtained.
In 1931 and 1933 the same procedure as in the years prior to1929 was followed except that the broad goods percentage waschanged. This change was based on Table 29, p. 52, of Productionund Distribution of Silk and Rayon Broad Goods, Textile Foun-clation and National Federation of Textiles, New York, 1935. Oftotal distribution of broad goods and prints 7 per cent was soldto wholesalers and 70 per cent to cutters-up (industrial consum-ers). When industrial sales of wholesalers were estimated aspreviously total industrial sales were indicated to be 75 per cent.This percentage, together with the previously estimated per.centages for ribbons, etc. and threads, was applied to the respec-tive Census figures for 1931 and 1933.249, 253—Woolen and worsted woven goods except blankets:Distribution ratios were derived from data on woolen andworsted billings for 1924 as given in Distribution of Textiles.After subtracting all billings of blankets and horse blankets, thefollowing percentages were computed from Table 12, p. 62 ofthat volume.
To cutters-up and other manufacturers 76To wholesalers including export trade 21
To retailers 3
Sales to wholesalers were further allocated by using the per.centage of piece goods, woolens and worsted sold by wholesalersto industrial consumers. As indicated in Table 2, U. S. Summaryof Wholesale Distribution, the amount so sold was 47.8 per centand this percentage was then applied to sales to wholesalers.Thus total unfinished was 86 per cent (76 per cent + 47.8 percent of 21 per cent).
This percentage was then applied to all the Census totals.Distribution of Sales data were not used in 1929 because of theconfusion on the part of the reporting manufacturers, of cut-ters-up and wholesalers.
Woolen and worsted yarns for sale:The apportionment of yarns between unfinished and finishedrepresents a rough approximation based on data relating to the
production of hand knitting worsted yarns as revealed in Analysis of Production of Worsted Sales Yarn, Research StudiesVII, Industrial Research Department, University of Pennsylvania. The allocation in 1931 and 1933 is little more than a gues;based on an approximate allowance for the apparent increasehome knitting in these years.
311—Lumber and timber products:Commodity totals were obtained by removing the value of planing mill products made in the industry and the value of otheproducts not belonging to the industry. From these commodititotals were subtracted the estimated values for firewood, pulpwood and lath. The values for firewood and pulpwood wenestimated on the basis of 1929 percentages. In that year firewoocas reported was .15 per cent of the commodity total, and pulpwood was 1.03 per cent. The values for lath were derived b1multiplying the quantities produced by respective average pricesBoth quantities and prices are reported in the various volumeof the Census.
Upon the. subtraction of the figures for firewood, pulpwoocand lath, values representing all other lumber and timber products remained. These were apportioned between unfinished antconstruction materials by the following procedure. In 1928 thequantity of lumber consumed in manufacture (excludingmill products and sash, doors, blinds and general mill work)10,3 17,421 M.ft. b.m.' After adjustment to include boxes, basketscrates, patterns and flasks consumed in non-wood industries orthe basis of 1933 ratios 2 the amount of lumber used in manufacture was raised to 11,530,138 M.ft. b.m. This total was movecfor the various Census years except 1933 by means of an inde,of total lumber production derived from data given in theCensus of Manufactures. The quantities thus obtained for theCensus years were multiplied by the respective average priceper M. bd. ft. of lumber at the mill (also reported in the Census)The following table shows the estimated quantities of lumbeiconsumed in manufacture and the resultant estimated values.

All data relating to 'planing mills having been removed fronthe preceding estimates, it was necessary to estimate the value alumber consumed in independent planing mills. In 1929, 4,860857 M.bd.ft. of lumber was reported in the Census as being consumed by independent planing mills whose aggregate productiorvalue represented 72.7 per cent of the total value of productiorfor the industry. Raised to cover the entire industry, theconsumption figure becomes 6,686,186 M.bd.ft. When multiplieby the average lumber price at mill for 1929, $26.94 per M.bd.ft.this quantity becomes' in terms of value $180,126 thousand.following table indicates the values as estimated for theyears on the basis of an index of the total cost of materials iithe planing mill products industry.

There remains one further set of estimates relating to lumberconsumption, i.e., the amount purchased by the wood preservingindustry. In 1933, 1931, 1929 and 1927 it was possible to obtainfor contract work in this industry the value of products beforeand after treatment. In 1933 the value of products before treat-ment was 64.0 per cent of the value after treatment, in 1931, 67.7per cent, in 1929, 68.1 per cent, and in 1927, 63.2 per cent. Thesepercentages were applied to the total value of products (exclud-ing contract work) for the respective years; for the years priorto 1927 the 1927 percentage was used. The resultant estimates of
1. Total value of all other lumberand timber products
2. Unfinished (amount used inall manufacturing industries) 1

Combination of the above figures for various types of lumberconsumption made possible the apportionment of all other lum.ber and timber products between unfinished and constructionmaterials. This apportionment is given in the following table:

608—Chemicals, n.e.c.:The figure for finished secured for 1929 by use of Distributionof Sales, was extrapolated for the other Census years by meansof an index of the values of sodium bicarbonate (refined), chlo-roform, hydrogen peroxide and finished coal-tar medicinals.Data for the first three items were available in the Census, for thefourth the Tariff Commission's Census of Dyes and Other Syn-thetic Organic Chemicals (1927, pp. 6—8; 1929, pp. 6—7; 1933, p.3) used. The index thus derived was: 1919, 93.3; 1921, 52.1;1923, 69.5; 1925, 79.6; 1927, 81.7; 1929,100.0; 1931, 103.1; 1933,87.0.
615—Explosives:From Technical Paper 510, pp. 21—22, and Report of investiga-tions 325, p. 5, both publications of the Bureau of Mines, thefollowing percentages of explosives (in terms of quantity) usedin railroad and other construction work were derived: 1933,29.7; 1931, 24.6; 1929, 13.2; 1927, 11.0; 1925, 9.9. These data wereassumed to be representative of value relationships and werethus employed to estimate the values for explosives used as con-struction materials. Prior to 1925, 10%, an approximation basedon the 1925 relationship, was used.
620—Liquors, vinous:It was arbitrarily assumed that, because of the repeal of prohibi-tion in 1933, the value of unfinished was the same as in 1931,and that the rest of the industry was finished.
626—Paints and varnishes:The apportionment of paints and varnishes was based on ap-proximations by Henry A. Gardner, Director of the ScientificSection of the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association(by correspondence). His allocations indicate 25% to unfinished,65% for construction purposes, and 10% to finished.
630—Salt:From Production and Distribution of Salt in the United States
by Primary Producers, U. Tariff Commission (mimeographed),March 1935, pp. 7 and 8, the average quantities (for the five-yearperiod 1929—33) of rock salt and evaporated salt destined fordomestic or household use were ascertained. The percentages(derived from Table 3 of the report) were 9 for rock salt and
28 for evaporated salt. From Table 2 of the same report annualpercentages of domestic to total salt (all types) were taken:1929, 16; 1930, 17; 1931, 19; 1932, 21; 1933, 20; five-year average19%. By deriving the ratios of the annual percentages to thefive-year average and applying them to the five-year averagesfor rock and evaporated salt, the following percentages repre-senting production for domestic use were obtained:
Application of these percentages to the values for rock andevaporated salt as determined by the Bureau of Mines andreported in the Census of Manufactures resulted in the follow-ing values in thousands of dollars:
Rock for domestic useEvaporated for domestic use
Total
The totals of domestic rock and domestic evaporated expressedas percentages of the total values of salt were 19.4 in 1929, 22.5in 1931. These percentages were applied to the total values ofsalt as reported by the Census of Manufactures. Prior to 1929the 1929 percentage was used; in 1933 the 1931 percentage wasapplied.
701, 703, 705—Coke:Based on data from the Minerals Yearbook, 1934, and fromMineral Resources of the U. S., Part Ii, 1931, 1929 and 1922.Actual dollar sales of coke destined for domestic users were

available back to 1923. For 1921 and 1919 the quantity dataas given were multiplied by the respective average values perton of coke sold for other industrial and domestic uses. Theratios of these values to all coke produced (Industries 701,703 and 705) were then obtained and applied to the amountof coke produced ineach industry. Although the apportionmentin any one or more of the three industries may thus be in-correct, the apportionment of all coke is relatively accurate.
704, 705—Lubricating oils and greases:In the apportionment of lubricating oils and greases it wasassumed that finished was adequately represented by the use ofestimates representing passenger-car demand. In 1931 the Bu-reau of Mines estimated automotive consumption at 11,500 M..bbls. or 483,000 M. gallons (Mineral Resources, 1931, Part II, p.645). Of this total passenger-car consumption was assumed toaccount for 69%, this being the ratio of passenger-car gasolinedemand to total motor-vehicle demand derived from Table 16,p. 121, of Petroleum Investigation Hearings . . . before Corn-mittee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, H. Res. 441, Part I,Washington, 1934.
The resultant figure, 333,270 M. gallons, was then expressedas a percentage of the total production of lubricating oils andgreases as given in the 1931 Census of Manufactures (1,308,872M. gal.). This percentage, 25, was then applied to value of pro-duction in 1931. The resultant 1931 value figure representingfinished was then moved by an index based on the estimatesof the values of finished gasoline.
Derivation of finished by the alxve method excludes thevalue of exports.
Gasoline:For the apportionment of gasoline between unfinished andfinished data were obtained on passenger-car consumption fromthe Petroleum Investigation Hearings report. These data, de-rived from Part I, Table 16, p. 121, are shown in line 1 of theaccompanying table. Line 2 shows total gasoline production asreported in the Census of Manufactures. Line 3 indicates thepercentage of passenger-car demand to total production. Thepercentages thus derived (although really representing quantityrelationships) were then applied to the Census value figures.Prior to 1925 the 1925 percentage was used, and in 1933 the1931 percentage.
1927Passenger-car de-mand (M. gallons) 6,507,396 8,651,286 10,789,758 11,354,574Total production(M. gallons) 10,726,262 12,729,536 17,538,789 17,100,621Percentage ofpassenger-cardemand to totalproduction 61 68 62 66
All gasoline demand other than passenger-car was thus con-sidered unfinished although a small amount of non-automotivegasoline might well have been treated as finished had sufficientdata been available. Finished as derived by the above methodexcludes exports, in contrast to our estimates of the finishedportion of other commodities.
Fuel oil:For the apportionment between unfinished and finished datawere secured from the Bureau of Mines report, NatiOnal Surveyof Fuel Oil Distribution, 1930. The following quantity datarelating to oil consumption for domestic heating appeared onp. 19 of that bulletin.
production of fuel oil reported in the Census, are given below.These percentages were assumed to represent the amount of fueloil destined for household consumption (finished) and wereapplied to the production value figures, no allowance beingmade for possible price differences between the value at themanufacturing stage of industrial fuel oil and domestic fuel oil.The percentage for 1923 was used without change for 1921 and1919.

802—Tire sundries and repair materials:Information concerning the apportionment of tire sundries andrepair materials was secured from E. W. Sloan, Chief, Leatherand Rubber Division, Bureau of Foreign and bomestic Com-merce. The following percentage apportionments were indi-cated:
1919 1921 1923 1925 1927 1929 1931 1933Unfinished 40 45 50 55 55 60 65 65Finished 60 55 50 45 45 40 35 35
Rubber heels, soles, anti soling strips:Similar (lata were obtained from Mr. Sloan on rubber heels,soles, etc.
Hard-rubber goods (other than battery jars, boxes, etc.):This item was apportioned 70% to unfinished and 30% to fin-ished on the basis of an approximation also supplied by Mr.S loan.
803—Pneumatic tires and tubes, motor-vehicle:The apportionment of pneumatic tires and tubes was deter-mined by the following procedure: From Special Circular No.3500 of the Rubber Section of the Bureau of Foreign andDomestic Commerce, U. S. Renewal Tire Market Analysis, thenumber of casings and tubes required for original equipmentwere obtained. These, when multiplied by the average valueper casing and tube (derived from the Census of Manufactures),provided estimates of the value of tires and tubes used for
1931 original equipment, i.e., unfinished.
Solid and cushion tires:From the same Special Circular the production of cars andtrucks equipped with solids was obtained. These figures, whenmultiplied by four and then by the average value per solidand cushion tire (again derived from data in the Census), pro-vided estimates of the value of solid and cushion tires used fororiginal equipment.
Pneumatic, motorcycle and bicycle:A similar technique was followed for motorcycle and bicycletires and tubes. The total number of motorcycles, side cars (asestimated) and bicycles, was first multiplied by the number ofwheels per vehicle and then by the approximate average valueper casing and tube.
906—Miscellaneous leather products (except belts, and desksets, etc.):
A variation of the Distribution of Sales method was used.Sales ratios were derived from Distribution of Sales by subtract-ing the values of leather belts from the sales distribution valuesfor the entire industry and computing sales ratios from theremainder. These showed 29.0 per cent to wholesalers and 27.1per cent direct to industrial consumers, and were applied to allleather goods (except belts). Sales to wholesalers were furtherallocated by using the percentage of leather goods, n.e.c., soldto industrial consumers by wholesalers. As indicated in Table2, U. S. Summary of Wholesale Distribution, this amounted to

Total finished for miscellaneousthen represented total sales minus unfinished and minus salesalready treated as finished, desk sets, etc. The final 1929 per-centages as used for the apportionment of miscellaneous were32.7 to unfinished and 67.3 to finished.
1648—Brake linings and clutch facings: See note forIndustry 1407.
1002—Cement:The value of cement was apportioned between unfinished andconstruction materials on the basis of the amount of cementconsumed in making concrete products as reported for 1929in the Census of Manufactures. This item was estimated for allyears except 1929 on the basis of the 1929 percentage relation-ship, 46.6, to total materials consumed in the concrete productsindustry.
1008, 1009—Plate glass:For the apporiionment of plate glass between unfinished andconstruction materials quantity percentages representing thepercentage of plate glass production consumed by the automo-bile industry were used. These were obtained from Facts andFigures of the Automobile Industry.

1101—Bolts, nuts, washers, and rivets:These data were taken from the special tables appearing in theCensus reports for the steel works and rolling mill industry(1112).
For the apportionment between unfinished and constructionmaterials an approximation was used. The values of railroadspikes, plus those of railroad, boiler [not listed separately],bridge and structural bolts were assumed to represent construc-tion materials. In 1933, the 1931 percentage was used, while in1927 and 1925 the values of railroad, boiler, etc. were estimatedon the basis of the percentage, 22.5, that the 1929 figure was ofthe total production of bolts, nuts, etc. Prior to 1925 the com-modity totals were apportioned as in 1925, 32.2 per cent toconstruction materials, and 67.8 per cent to unfinished.
1109—Vehicle hardware other than locks: See note for Indus-try 1407.
1112, IllS—Cut and wrought nails, spikes . -
These data include the production in all For cut andwrought nails, etc. the figures were partially estimated prior to1925. In that year the value of these commodities produced inestablishments connected with rolling mills was 24.1 per centof the total value. Thus in 1923, 1921 and 1919 the values re-ported for rolling mills were raised to represent total produc-tion on the basis of the preceding percentage.
Lack of adequate distribution data necessitated the use ofthe bolt, nut, etc. percentages (see 1101) for the apportionmentbetween unfinished and construction materials;
1119, 1121—Heating apparatus . . . stoves:
From Table 13, p. 27, of the Census of Construction, 1930, thecost to contractors of heating and ventilating equipment andsupplies was obtained. Since the Construction Census isably deficient in coverage, the cost figure as reported was mul-tiplied by 1.2064, the ratio of the total volume of constructionin 1929 as estimated in National Income, 1929—32, Senate Docu-ment No. 124, 73d Congress, 2d Session (see Ch. IX) to theCensus figure for total construction. The resultant figure was
assumed to represent the value of all heating equipment, etc.
used as construction material. Expressed as a percentage ofthe total value of heating equipment derived from the Census
[77}
(the data presented in the mixed group of Industries 1119and 1121, plus the values of electric domestic ranges, and elec-tric water heaters as shown under Industry 1303) it amountedto 44.3. The remainder, 55.7, was assumed to represent finished,and these percentages were then applied to the value totals forall years.
1126, 1127—Nails, bi-ads, spikes, tacks and staples, all industries:Lack of adequate sales distribution data necessitated using the
percentage apportionments derived for bolts, nuts, etc. (In-dustry 1101), given below.

1128—Wrought pipe, welded, heavy riveted and seamless:For the apportionment between unfinished and constructionmaterials all boiler tubing and mechanical tubing were treatedas unfinished. Prior to 1927 the values for unfinished were esti-
mated on the basis of the 1927 percentage of the total, 13.9.
1201—Motor-vehicle accessories and parts: See note for Indus-try 1407.
1219—Stamped automotive parts and accessories: See note forIndustry 1407.
1303—Incandescent-filanient lamps:The apportionment between unfinished and finished is basedon information given by the Incandescent Lamp Department ofthe General Electric Company. Correspondence with this de-
partment revealed that in 1931, 37.5 per cent of all incandescentlamps were estimated as sold for household use (finished) andin 1930, 35.6 per cent. For 1929 and all prior Census years house-hold lamps were assumed to be 35 per cent of the total. For 1933,the 1931 percentage was used.
Domestic ranges and water heaters: See note for Indus-tries 1119 and 112L
Loud speakers, transformers and miscellaneous radio
parts:
The apportionment of loud speakers was based on the per-centage of quantities sold at retail (as reported in the annualstatistical issues of Radio Retailing) to total number produced,except in. 1931 when an estimate obtained by correspondencewith the Department of Commerce was used. Thus, in 1923, 80%was finished, in 1925, 70%; in 1927, 57%; in 1929, 24% and in1931 and 1933, 2%. The same percentages were applied to trans-formers and no miscellaneous parts.
Radio tubes:The apportionment for all years was based on the 1931 Censusdata which indicated that 45.2 per cent of total tube protuc-tion was sold as initial equipment, i.e., unfinished.
Automotive generators, etc: See note for Industry 1407.
1407—Motor-vehicle bodies and parts:The apportionment of automotive equipment, parts and ac-cessories was difficult, because the inadequacy of the availablesales distribution data made the usual method of working for-ward by use of Distribution of Sales etc. unsatisfactory. A methodthat involved working backward from retail sales was substi-tuted. From the Retail Census, 1929, it was possible to derivetotal retail sales of automobile parts and accessories and tiresand tubes. This total amounted to $1,470,633 thousand and couldnot be divided between parts .. - and tires and tubes on thebasis of available retail commodity data because of indeter-minate overlapping.
Hence, the next step was to estimate the retail sales value oftires and tubes. This was done by the application of successivemark-ups to the manufacturers' value of finished tires and tubesas previously estimated (see note for Industry 803). The retail
UnfinishedConstructionmaterials
Percentageconsumed by auto-mobile industry
value obtained by use of the mark-ups was $718,916 thousand(see Table 111—4, for the derivation). This figure was thensubtracted from the total retail sales of parts and accessoriesand tires and tubes as determined above.
The resultant figure, $751,717 thousand, was assumed to repre-sent retail sales of parts and accessories. To translate the retailfigure into manufacturers' value an approximate spread of 45%was utilized (based on examination of available data, wholesaleand retail expense ratios, etc.).1 Thus, in terms of manufac-turers' prices, the. value of finished automobile parts and acces-sories in 1929 was $407,586 thousand.
Our next problem was the division of the preceding totalamong the nine groups of products (belonging to seven indus-tries) that constituted various kinds of automotive parts andaccessories. Closely connected with this problem was the deriva-tion of figures for the years other than 1929. The grand total ofthe nine groups of products (inclusive of both unfinished andfinished) amounted to $1,915,690 thousand. Of this total, $407,-586 thousand represented finished. In order to move this figurefor finished, three indexes given in the Survey of Current Busi-ness were utilized. These indexes represented accessory ship-ments to wholesalers, shipments of replacement parts and ofservice equipment. The separate indexes were weighted equallyas of January 1925 and combined, the resultant summary indexwith 1929 as a base being as follows:
1925 1927 1929 1931 1933109 103 100 67 56.
By means of this index, values for finished were obtainedback to 1925. Prior to 1925 a constant percentage based on therelationship of the 1925 finished estimate to the 1925 total pr&duction of all parts, accessories etc. was used, this percentage be-ing applied to the total production data in the earlier years. Itthen merely remained to apportion the finished total among thenine groups of products. Three of the groups, automobile skidchains, storage batteries and ignition apparatus, were treatedseparately. Skid chains were considered entirely finished; whilethe value of finished storage batteries and ignition apparatuswas first estimated in 1929 by the Distribution of Sales methodand then estimated for the other years by use of the 1929percentages. The remainder of total finished (after subtrac-tion of chains, batteries and ignition apparatus) was appor-tioned among the six remaining groups of products on the basisof the relative production in each Census year. Although such
In actuality a spread of 45.2371% was used. The resultant manufac-turers' value was then divided by 101 per cent in order to allow for a1% transportation charge. Such decimal accuracy in computation wasrendered necessary because of minor revisions in the basic data. Sincea number of dependent data had been calculated before the revision, itwas decided to vary the spread (originally exactly 45%) rather thanattempt a laborious recalculation of the dependent data.
an apportionment may be inaccurate in its application to asingle industry, it does not affect the estimated total.
1409—Motorcycle and bicycle parts:The apportionment was made by means of a variation of theDistribution of Sales method. The industrial sales for the entireindustry, 13.8 per cent of the commodity total as determinedfrom Distribution of Sales, were assumed to represent unfinishedparts. The 1929 figure thus calculated was 42.0 when expressedas a percentage of parts alone. This percentage was utilized forthe other years.
1612—Rhinestone ornaments:All rhinestone ornaments except those sold to retailers weretreated as unfinished. Unpublished Census data indicated 44.6%sales to retailers.
Miscellaneous articles:First the Distribution of Sales method was applied to the com-modity total for the industry. Of total sales 40.6% were to whole-salers and 14.8% direct to industrial consumers. As indicated inTable 2, U. S. Summary of Wholesale Distribution, 1.6% ofnovelties was sold to industrial consumers by wholesalers. Thispercentage was applied to sales to wholesalers. Thus total un-finished and consequently total finished were obtained for theentire industry. From these totals the data treated separately(cigar lighters, greeting cards, rhinestone ornaments, and desksets, etc.) were subtracted. After all such adjustments the 1929percentages as derived for application to the miscellaneousgroup, unfinished and 79.7 finished, were applied in allyears.
1620—Instruments, professional and scientific:From unpublished Census tabulations it was ascertained that23.4% of total sales was to manufacturers for incorporation inmachines, etc. in 1929. This percentage was used for all years.
1628—Lapidary work:Only lapidary work sold direct to retailers (4.5% according toDistribution of Sales) was treated as finished. This percentagewas used for all years.
1635—Phonographs not reported in detail:During the years in which this item was reported, the data wereapportioned between unfinished and finished on the basis of theproportionate division of the rest of the industry. The percent-ages for unfinished were 1927, 7.6; 1925, 4.8; 1923, 7.9; 1921, 5.3;1919, 7.1.
1636—Films, slides, sensitized cloth and paper:The apportionfrtent between unfinished and finished was madeon the basis of a confidential trade estimate.
