Excerpt from Twenty-Eighth Annual Report of the Statistics of Manufactures for the Year 1913The data for the 28th Annual Report on the Statistics of Manufactures represent returns from establishments for the year 1913 which register an aggregate value of goods made in our manufacturing industries for that year of nearly one and two-thirds billions of dollars These figures exhibit a net gain over 1912 of 134 in the number of establish ments, and an increase of or per cent, in prod uct value. As compared with the Census of 1909, when the total stood at our industrial growth is measured by a gain in product value of or per cent, an average for the four-year period of per cent per year.It is, of course, true that these figures are affected to a cer tain extent by price change and that general prices have not been declining in the last four years, not only as regards the necessaries of life, but also for materials to be used for further production. The fact that on the whole there was substantial gain in 1913 is, however, home out and perhaps better shown by the more significant comparison of the average number of wage-earners employed during the year, which rose from in 1912 to in 1913, an increase of or per cent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
