Foreword
This volume is the latest in a series of base books designed to give the historical record of the business indicators which are presented in the monthly S U R V E Y
OF C U R R E N T BUSINESS. This is the ninth edition in its present form. The 1932
Statistical Supplement to the SURVEY OF C U R R E N T BUSINESS was followed by
the Statistical Supplements of 1936, 1938, 1940, 1942, 1947, 1949, and 1951. Until
up-dated in 1955, this report will be the standard reference essential for proper understanding and use of the 40-page Monthly Business Statistics Section of the S U R V E Y
OF C U R R E N T BUSINESS.
The 2,600 series of business statistics presented here were selected—given
the space considerations of monthly issue—as significant measures of the current
operations of the national economy. The selection has been determined by our experience since 1921 in publishing the monthly SURVEY OF C U R R E N T BUSINESS—
by years of exploring with business the information most useful to each trade and
industry group and to business in general.
The statistical tables first present monthly data from January 1949 through
December 1952 and annual averages of monthly data from 1935 through 1952. The
explanatory notes which follow provide sources and descriptions—as complete as
brevity will permit—of the data contained in the tables in this volume and in the
monthly issues of the S U R V E Y OF C U R R E N T BUSINESS.
For users desirous of having the monthly tabulations going back for years
earlier than are here presented, reference should be made to previous editions.
Small quantities of the 1947 edition (monthly statistics back to 1943) and of the
1949 edition are available from the Superintendent of Documents. The supply of
the 1951 edition is adequate to take care of a continuance of the demand for this
volume for quite some time. The sales supply of the prewar editions is exhausted,
but reference copies are on file in the Field Offices of the Department of Commerce
and in the hundreds of Government depository and other libraries. These provide,
in some instances, comparable monthly series as far back as 1923.
To the compilation of the data and the development of the explanatory notes
published here, the many private organizations and Government agencies which regularly provide material for the monthly SURVEY OF C U R R E N T BUSINESS contributed
generously. The Office of Business Economics, well aware that without their help
this series of volumes would not have been possible, gratefully acknowledges their
contribution. These sources are listed, with their addresses, in an appendix table.
This publication was prepared by the Current Business Analysis Division,
of which Dr. C. A. R. Wardwell is Chief. K. Celeste Stokes, Chief of the Statistical
Series Section, was in immediate charge of its preparation. Staff members contributing
were: Ida W. Bates, Emily J. Brigman, G. Alva Carriere, Dorothy H. Hollohan, Jean
M. Plass, Edith M. Robinson, Anne Taeves, and V. Grace Watson.
