Between 1880 and 1936, the city of Madrid experienced a significant growth of its tertiary economy which was largely related to the changing evolution of its commercial activity. This one initially maintained the characteristic features of the pre-industrial city, with an atomisation structure, a vast predominance of small-scale establishments and labour relations based on the classical rules of paternalism. But in the heat of the Second Industrial Revolution, it underwent through a transformation marked by the inauguration of new establishments favoured by the participation of large-scale capital, allowing the introduction of novel techniques and strategies for attracting new customers. This paper examines the main characteristics of labour relations in the commercial sector during this crucial era of changes, focusing on the analysis of its protagonists thanks to the use of a key documentary source for an individualised and collective study: the Municipal Register of Inhabitants (1880, 1905 and 1930).
