This is the third in a series of 11 monographs issued from the Fourteenth Census, taken in the year 1920, designed to include analysis and interpretation of important subjects covered by the census.
Monograph III is a statistical and descriptive analysis of the development and growth of industrial establishments and of the size, scope and structure of combinations of industrial establishments operated from central offices. The three parts are:
Part I. The Growth of Industrial Establishments
Part II. The Extent of Central-Office Operation
Part III. The Structure of Central-Office Groups
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
