[A] Compiled from Census Reports: 1880, 10th Census,
_Manufactures_, pp. xxiv, xxv; 1890-1900, 12th Census, vol.
viii, _Manufactures, Part ii_, pp. 7, 108, 115, 134, 279, 301,
335, 831, 848, 908; 1905, 12th Census, _Manufactures, Part ii_,
pp. 20, 142, 152, 179, 339, 361, 403, 1025, 1056, 1127.
[B] In Tables ii and iii the figures of Manufactures from 1880
to 1900 are not exactly comparable with those of 1905, because
the census of 1905 was limited to manufacturing establishments
and excluded all neighborhood work and establishments for
custom work and repairing. Hence percentage of increase was not
worked out for this period.
[C] Figures for Washington, D.C., apply to the District of
Columbia and include governmental establishments.
[D] Increase 1890-1900.
