Varying usage as to the meaning of manufacture divides into four periods. From its earliest use in 1621, until 1754, manufacturing meant only hand work. Between 1755 and 1802 usage broadened but the words and machinery do not appear. From 1803 to 1898 it means both hand and machine work, and dictionaries continue to define it thus. Since 1898 it has meant, in the popular mind, producing by machinery.1 Since 1860 large-scale factory production has been conspicuous in the manufacturing industry of the United States. During the decade 189&1900 manufacturing began to assume its present-day characteristics, and to compete in international trade. The Census of 1900 for the first time separated hand work from machine production, revealing that less than 10 per cent of the total value of manufactured products was turned out by hand. Since then household industries have not been enumerated by the Census.2 The 1930 Census classifies a bewildering multiplicity of thousands of manufacturing lines into 326 industries, and 16 industry groups.3 The regional distribution of these manufactures is the subject of this study
