This  is  one  of  a  series  of  volumes  presenting  the  findings  of 
the  1933  Census  of  American  Business.  The  statistics  were  collected 
in  1934  by  a  field  canvass  of  wholesale  establishments  in  every 
State,  city,  and  county  in  the  United  States,  with  funds  provided 
by  the  Federal  Civil  Works  Administration.  They  cover  the  oper- 
ations of  wholesale  establishments  during  the  year  1953. 

The  volumes  were  prepared  under  the  supervision  of  Fred  A. 
Gosnell,  Chief  Statistician  for  the  Census  of  American  Business, 
by  Theodore  N.  Beckman,  in  Charge  of  Wholesale  Distribution,  assist- 
ed by  John  Albright,  Administrative  Assistant.

WHOLESALE  DISTRIBUTION:   1933 


■  In  this  report  are  presented  statistics  on  wholesale  trade  for 
the  year  1933.  Data  are  shown  both  by  type  of  establishment  and  by  kind 
of  business  so  as  to  set  forth  the  essential  characteristics  of  the  whole- 
sale business  of  the  area  covered  by  this  volume.  For  a  description  of 
the  Wholesale  Census,  for  definitions,  explanations  of  terms,  classifi- 
cations, and  United  States  Summary  tabl:s,  and  for  an  analysis  of  whole- 
sale trade,  see  Volume  I. 

For  census  purposes  a  wholesale  establishment  is  a  place  of 
business,  the  primary  function  of  which  is  to  sell  or  distribute  goods  on 
a  wholesale  basis.  It  may  be  in  the  form  of  a  store,  a  wholesale  ware- 
house, a  sales  or  brokerage  office,  or  part  of  an  office  as  when  the 
office  is  shared  with  other  similar  organizations.  Sales  at  wholesale 
may  be  made  to  retailers,  to  institutions,  to  industrial  consumers  or  to 
other  wholesale  organizations.  No  merchandising  establishment  has  been 
classified  as  "wholesale"  unless  fifty  percent  or  more  of  its  sales  were 
made  in  a  wholesale  manner  or  on  a  wholesale  basis. 

The  Wholesale  Census  was  taken  on  the  basis  of  establishments 
rather  than  companies  or  firms  in  order  to  facilitate  the  canvass  and  to 
make  it  possible  to  present  data  by  geographic  areas.  A  separate  report 
was  required  for  each  establishment  regardless  of  whether  or  not  it  was 
ov/ned  or  operated  as  a  part  of  a  large  business  organization.  Wholesale 
peddlers  and  others  who  sell  goods  at  wholesale  but  who  maintain  no 
regularly  established  places  of  business  were  not  included  in  this  census. 

WHOLESALE  TRADE,  BY  TYPE  OF  ORGANIZATION . —In  presenting  the 
data  for  the  States  and  for  the  United  States  as  a  whole,  v/holesale 
establishments  have  been  divided  into  six  groups,  some  of  which  have  been 
further  subdivided,  according  to  the  type  of  establishment  or  the  nature 
of  the  functions  performed. 

The  first  of  the  six  functional  type  groups  for  which  data  are 
shovm  is  called  "wholesalers  proper"  and  consists  of  more  or  less  regular 
wholesalers  in  domestic  and  foreign  trade  who  take  title  to  the  goods 
they  buy  and  sell  and  are  largely  independent  in  ownership.  The  second 
division  comprises  "manufacturers'  sales  branches,"  consisting  of  whole- 
sale outlets  owned  by  manufacturers  lar^oly  for  the  disposal  of  their  own 


8181 


goods.  The  third  type,  "bulk  tank  stations,"  consists  of  establishments 
performing  wholesale  functions  in  the  distribution  of  gasoline,  oil  and 
other  petroleum  products.  While  primarily  distributing  their  products  to 
retail  stations,  they  also  sell  goods  at  wholesale  to  tank  wagons  and  to 
industrial  users.  The  fourth  type,  "chain  store  warehouses,"  are  distri- 
bution stations  maintained  by  retail  chains  to  supply  their  stores  v/ith 
merchandise.  They  carry  on  wholesale  operations  in  addition  to  ware- 
housing in  that  they  break  bulk,  deliver  and  bill  merchandise,  and  in 
some  cases  exercise  supervision  over  a  chain  of  stores.  Wholesale 
commissaries,  prepared- food  depots  which  serve  their  own  restaurants, 
and  distribution  centers  for  bakery  chains  are  also  included  in  this 
group. 

The  fifth  division  is  called  "assemblers  and  country  buyers." 
Their  principal  operation  is  the  purchase  and  assembly  of  farm  products 
such  as  grain,  cotton,  tobacco  and  other  forms  of  farm  produce.  This 
group  also  includes  cooperative  marketing  associations;  packers  and 
shippers;  cream  stations;  and  independent,  line,  and  cooperative  elevators 
as  differentiated  from  terminal  elevators.  The  sixth  and  last  group  is 
called  "agents  and  brokers,"  and  includes  auction  companies,  brokers, 
commission  merchants,  export  and  import  agents,  manufacturers'  agents, 
selling  agents,  resident  buyers,  etc. 

For  each  of  the  six  type  groups  of  wholesale  establishments  and 
for  some  of  the  subdivisions  thereof  data  are  shown  in  Table  1  on  the 
number  of  establishments,  both  for  1933  and  1929;  net  sales,  for  1933  and 
1929;  total  expenses,  expressed  both  in  amounts  and  as  a  percent  of  net 
sales;  the  average  number  of  full-time  employees,  pay  roll  for  all 
employees  and  for  part-time  employees;  and  stocks  on  hand  at  the  end  of 
the  year.  This  information  is  presented  for  each  of  the  States  and  for 
each  of  the  cities  of  100,000  population  and  over. 

7M0LESALE  TRADE,  BY  KIND  OF  BUSINESS.— In  addition  to  being 
classified  according  to  functional  type,  each  establishment  was  also 
classified  by  kind  of  business,  on  the  basis  of  the  chief  line  or  lines 
of  merchandise  in  which  it  dealt.  Following  this  basis  of  classification, 
wholesale  establishments  were  divided  into  twenty-five  major  kind-of- 
business  groups,  which  were  further  subdivided  into  166  detailed  kind  of 
business  classifications  according  to  the  degree  of  merchandise  specializ- 
ation. A  complete  explanation  of  this  method  of  classification  is  given 
in  Volume  I. 

Important  as  it  is  to  have  information  for  each  kind  of  busi- 
ness or  line  of  trade  in  detail,  it  is  even  more  significant  to  have  such 
data  presented  separately  for  each  type  of  wholesaling  organization.  In 
that  manner  the  accomplishments  of  a  wholesaler  in  a  given  line  of  busi- 
ness may  be  compared  with  the  accomplisl'.r.ents  of  all  wholesalers  operating 
therein,  while  the  achievements  of  a  manufacturer's  sales  branch  can  be 

8181 


compared  with  those  of  manufacturers'  sales  branches  in  the  same  line  of 
trade.  Such  comparisons  are  of  special  interest  to  individual  business 
enterprises  and  to  the  student  of  marketing. 

Basic  statistics  on  wholesale  trade  for  types  of  establishments 
by  kind  of  business  are  shown  in  two  tables.  Table  2A  presents  for  each 
State  and  for  a  limited  number  of  selected  cities,  the  number  of  whole- 
sale establishments  by  kind  of  business,  in  detail,  for  each  of  nineteen 
functional  types  of  wholesale  organizations.  This  table  may  be  regarded 
as  a  supplement  to  Table  2B  which  shows  for  each  of  the  States  and  for 
cities  of  5,000  population  and  over,  the  number  of  establishments;  net 
sales;  total  expenses,  expressed  in  amounts  and  as  a  percent  of  net  sales; 
the  average  number  of  full-time  employees;  pay  roll,  total  and  part-time; 
and  stocks  on  hand.  This  information  iz  shown  for  as  many  kinds  of  busi- 
ness, under  each  type,  as  possible  without  disclosing  data  for  individual 
establishments.  More  complete  information  on  the  number  of  establishments 
by  type  and  kind  of  business  in  detail  is  to  be  found  in  table  2A, 
described  above. 

SOURCES  OF  RECEIPTS. — In  addition  to  dealing  in  merchandise, 
many  wholesale  establishments  derive  a  certain  amount  of  income  from  the 
sale  of  services  and  from  other  sources.  Table  3  has  been  devised  in 
order  to  measure  quantitatively  the  volume  of  business  secured  through 
the  sale  of  goods  and  that  obtained  from  other  sources.  This  table  is 
presented  for  States  only,  by  kind-oi -business  groups,  and  shov/s  the 
number  of  establishments  in  a  given  group;  total  net  sales,  a  term  used 
throughout  as  interchangeable  with  receipts;  total  expenses,  expressed 
in  amounts  and  as  a  percent  of  sales;  and  receipts.  The  last  item  is 
broken  dovm  according  to  sources  into  sales  of  merchandise;  receipts 
from  parking,  storage,  cleaning,  etc.;  receipts  from  space  rental;  and 
receipts  from  other  sources. 

CREDIT  BUSINESS  OF  WHOLESALE  ESTABLISHMENTS  .—The  extent  to 
which  wholesale  establishments  engaged  in  selling  on  a  credit  basis  is 
shown  in  Table  4.  This  information  is  presented  for  States  only,  by 
kind-of-business  groups,  separately  for  wholesalers  proper  and  for  all 
other  types  combined.  It  indicates  the  degree  to  which  wholesale  estab- 
lishments perform  the  functions  of  financing  business  by  extending  credit 
to  retailers,  industrial  consumers,  and  to  other  wholesale  organizations 
to  which  they  sell.  Since  some  of  the  wholesale  establishments  did  not 
operate  on  a  credit  basis  and  others  failed  to  report  on  this  item,  data 
related  to  credit  sales  are  presented  in  Table  4  only  for  those  establish- 
ments for  which  the  credit  information  was  available.  It  shows  the 
number  of  establishments  reporting  credit  and  the  percent  which  that 
number  constituted  of  the  total  for  the  kind  of  business  under  consider- 
ation.  The  same  procedure  is  followed  in  connection  with  net  sales. 

8181 


In  the  following  columns  credit  sales  are  given  in  amounts  and  as  a  per- 
cent of  sales  of  establishments  reporting  credit  sales  and  as  a  percent 
of  sales  of  all  establishments  in  a  given  group.  The  table  also  shows 
total  expenses  incurred  by  establishments  operating  on  a  credit  basis. 
These  expenses  are  given  in  amounts  and  as  a  percent  of  sales  so  that 
comparison  may  be  made  between  the  costs  of  doing  business  of  establish- 
ments selling  on  credit  with  the  costs  incurred  by  those  establishments 
which  presumably  do  not  operate  on  a  credit  basis,  if  it  can  be  assumed 
that  all  or  most  of  the  establishments  not  reporting  credit  sales  sold 
for  cash. 

DISTRIBUTION  OF  SALES. — A  common  conception  is  that  wholesalers 
sell  only  to  retailers  and  that  wholesalers  are  the  only  type  of  organiz- 
ation operating  in  the  wholesale  field.  That  this  is  far  from  the  truth 
is  indicated  by  the  figures  shown  in  Table  5.  The  statistics  therein  are 
presented  for  States  only,  by  25  kinds  of  business,  separately  for  whole- 
salers proper  and  for  all  other  types  combined.  It  shows  that  wholesale 
establishments  sell  to  retailers,  to  industrial  consumers,  to  ultimate 
or  home  consumers,  and  to  other  wholesale  organizations.  Naturally, 
there  is  considerable  variation  in  the  extent  to  which  different  types 
of  wholesale  establishments  make  use  of  these  outlets  and  the  degree  to 
which  they  are  used  in  the  different  kinds  of  business. 

Here,  too,  not  all  of  the  establishments  reported  the  distri- 
bution of  their  sales,  partly  because  of  inadequate  records  at  the  time 
the  census  was  taken.  The  table  shows  for  each  type  and  kind-of-business 
group  the  number,  net  sales,  and  total  expenses  of  all  establishments, 
and  then  presents  statistics  for  those  establishments  that  reported  a 
distribution  of  sales  by  outlets.  For  these  establishments  it  shows  the 
number  and  the  percent  which  such  number  constitutes  of  the  total  for 
the  group  under  consideration.  Similar  treatment  is  given  to  the  net 
sales  of  establishments  which  reported  their  sales  by  type  of  customers. 
This  is  followed  by  total  expenses  for  such  establishments,  expressed  both 
in  amounts  and  as  a  percent  of  sales.  Total  sales  are  then  distributed 
into  the  following  groups:  sales  to  retailers  (for  resale);  sales  to  home 
consumers  (at  retail);  sales  to  industrial  users,  including  institutions; 
and  sales  to  other  wholesale  organizations.  From  these  data  it  should 
be  possible,  among  other  things,  to  determine  the  amount  of  duplication 
in  the  total  wholesale  sales  figures,  due  to  the  fact  that  some  wholesale 
establishments  sell  to  other  wholesale  organizations. 


8181 


EMPLOYMENT  IN  WHOLESALE  TRADE.— The  significance  of  wholesale 
trade  as  a  source  of  employment  is  indicated  in  Table  6.  In  this  table 
the  number  of  proprietors  and  firm  members  and  the  number  of  paid  employ- 
ees, divided  into  male  and  female  and  into  full-time  and  part-time,  are 
shown  for  each  of  the  25  major  kind-of-business  groups.  The  estimate  by 
sex  is  based  on  the  sex  distribution  reported  for  the  total  number  of 
employees  as  of  December  30,  1933;  the  percent  of  women  shown  separately 
relates  to  the  same  date.  The  table  also  presents  the  number  of  full- 
time  and  part-time  employees  as  of  the  15th  of  each  month  for  each  kind- 
of-business  group,  and  a  monthly  index  of  employment  for  wholesale  trade 
as  a  whole.  This  information  is  presented  for  each  of  the  States  and  for 
cities  of  500,000  population  and  over. 

Employment  is  the  only  item  in  the  wholesale  trade  statistics 
which  is  presented  on  a  monthly  basis.  It  affords  indirect  indication 
of  the  extent  of  seasonal  change  in  wholesale  activity,  quite  marked  in 
certain  lines  of  trade.  A  comparison  of  monthly  figures  for  1933  with 
quarterly  data  for  1929  suggests  the  extent  of  non-seasonal  improvement 
in  employment  conditions  in  the  course  of  1933.  Part-time  employment  in 
wholesale  trade,  information  on  which  was  gathered  for  the  first  time  for 
1933,  appears  to  be  much  less  important  in  this  field  than  in  retail 
trade;  it  attains  significant  proportions  in  only  a  few  kinds  of  business. 

WHOLESALE  TRADE  BY  SIZE  OF  BUSINESS  UNIT. — Table  7  presents  the 
number  of  establishments,  the  annual  average  number  of  full-time  employ- 
ees, and  the  operating  expense  ratio  of  wholesale  merchants  and  of  manu- 
facturers' sales  branches  with  stocks*,  by  size-of-establishment  groups, 
based  upon  net  sales.  Establishments  have  been  classified  into  7  size 
groups,  as  follows: 

Group  number  Net  sales 

I Under  $10,000 

II $10,000  to  $49,999 

III $50,000  to  $99,999 

IV $100,000  to  $199,999 

V $200,000  to  $499,999 

VI $500,000  to  $999,999 

VII $1,000,000  and  over 


■*For  definition  of  wholesale  merchants  and  manufacturers'  sales  branches 
with  stocks,  see  Volume  I. 

8181 


This  information  is  given  by  States  for  each  of  the  25  kinds 
of  business.  The  table  permits  a  comparison  by  lines  of  trade  of  whole- 
sale merchants  (including  importers)  with  manufacturers'  sales  branches 
with  stocks,  two  types  of  wholesale  operations  which,  for  the  most  part, 
compete  in  the  same  market,  warehouse  '"oods  and  make  deliveries  from 
stocks.  Comparison  is  also  possible  of  small  and  large-sized  establish- 
ments in  a  given  trade  as  to  operating  costs.  It  shows  to  what  extent 
each  size  group  furnishes  employment  in  wholesale  trade.  It  further 
indicates  the  differences  existing  between  trade  groups  and  betv/een  whole- 
sale merchants  and  manufacturers'  sales  branches  with  stocks  as  to  average 
size  of  establishment,  as  to  distribution  of  establishments  by  size,  and 
as  to  operating  costs. 

A  FEW  SUGGESTED  USES  OF  THE  DATA  IN  THESE  REPORTS.— The  statis- 
tics presented  in  these  reports  on  wholesale  trade  should  prove  of 
considerable  value  to  individual  business  men,  public  authorities  and 
independent  students.  The  breakdown  by  type  of  operation,  line  of  trade, 
and  geographic  areas  should  enable  the  wholesaler  to  compare  his  accom- 
plishments with  those  of  others  operating  on  a  similar  basis  in  the  same 
market  area.  For  the  manufacturer  planning  a  sales  campaign  the  fi  ures 
should  make  possible  an  allocation  of  sales  quotas  and  territories  to 
salesmen.  The  formulation  of  policies  by  public  authorities  should  be 
facilitated  by  information  on  the  amount  and  nature  of  business  done  in 
each  locality,  the  employment  it  furnishes,  and  the  income  it  distributes. 
The  quantitative  description  of  the  marketing  wholesale  structure  and  c  f 
the  changes  in  it  in  the  course  of  the  memorable  years,  1930  -  1933,  found 
in  the  Census  volume,  should  serve  as  basic  material  to  the  analytical 
student  of  Ame.ican  economic  life.
