This volume replaces the 1948 Census of Business Subject Bulletins, Series 2-W.
PREFACE
This is one of a series of seven volumes presenting final results of the 1948 Census of Business for Wholesale,
Retail, and Service Trades. Statistics for Wliolesale Trade are contained in two volumes — Volume V, Area Statistics,
and this volume. The Census, which was conducted by personal canvass of business establishments, was taken in
accordance with the provisions of the act of June 19, 1948 (62 Stat. 478; 13 U. S. C. 121-123). This act provides for a
Census of Business to cover the year 1948 and every fifth year thereafter. Previous business censuses covered the
years 1929, 1933, 1935, and 1939.
Important to the conduct of the 1948 Census of Business was the assistance of many private and public organiza-
tions in the planning phase of the census and the excellent cooperation of some 3,000,000 business establishments in
supplying the information required, as well as the work of the several thousand Census employees who participated
in the field enumeration, editing, tabulation, and other census operations.
The advice of trade associations, individual businessmen, research and marketing organizations, and Government
agencies was invaluable in determining the feasibility of collecting various types of data and the methods for minimizing
the burden of reporting, as well as in determining the types of information which would be of greatest value. Because
of budgetary and other limitations, it was not possible to collect all of the data recommended bj^ these groups. Timely
publicity given to the Business Census by business organizations, trade papers, local newspapers, and radio stations
aided greatly in informing businessmen of the nature and objectives of the census and facilitated the collection of
census reports.
The primary responsibility for the 1948 Census of Business was centered in the Business Division of the Census
Bureau. Other divisions of the Bureau, particularly the Field Division and the Machme Tabulation Division, also
had important functions in the census.
The Business Census was taken under the supervision of William C. Truppner, Chief of the Business Division.
Harvey Kailin, Assistant Division Chief, Program Branch, was appointed Acting Chief January 2, 1951, to succeed Mr.
Truppner who was detailed to the National Production Authority. Major contributions to the planning of the 1948
Census of Business were made by William A. Ruff, Assistant Chief, who retired January 1, 1948, and Earl D. Krick-
baima, Chief of the Procedures and Processing Section until November 1, 1948.
The following personnel in the Business Division had important responsibilities in the census:
Max A. Bershad was Chief of the Statistical Methods Section. Henry Wulff, in charge of Quality Control, worked
on field enumerating techniques, and oflfice editing and tabulating procedures. Aaron Sabghir, in charge of Sampling
Techniques, worked on the post-enumeration survey and measures of census coverage and accuracy.
John Albright was Chief of the Wholesale Trade Section and William P. Mclnerny was Assistant Chief. George
L. Whalley, Max E. VanHorn, Frank R. Alvis, and Bruce B. Spratling, participated in the planning and developing
of report forms, publication plans, and manuals; the writing of texts; and the handling of technical problems arising
during the processing of reports and tabulations.
Louis Greenberg was responsible for review of all text material and table forms, and assisted on publication
problems.
M. D. Bingham, Chief of the Procedures and Processing Section, was subsequently appointed Assistant Division
Chief, Processing and Management Branch. Sol Dolleck was Assistant Chief of the Procedures and Processing Sec-
tion; Richard S. McCurdy, succeeded by R. M. Micoly in July 1949, and assisted by Jervis Braunstein, was in charge
of the Directory Subsection, responsible for receiving report forms and the handling of special problems connected
with multiunit firms. Leroy H. Groeper was Chief of the Wholesale Trade Processing Subsection, and was in charge
of editing, coding, and tabulating Wholesale Trade reports. J. Stanley Werking participated in the design of forms
and all problems of printing and preparation of material for publication.
In the Field Division, Jack B. Robertson, assisted by Ai-thur Cook directed the field work for the Census of Busi-
ness. Lancelot W. Armstrong, Machine Tabulation Division, assisted by Hugh Jones, was responsible for machine
tabulation techniques and procedures; and Franklin L. Thatcher and Robert H. Brooks, Administrative Services
Division, were responsible for the printing and publishing of the Census of Business.

INTRODUCTION
Scope of the census and area covered. — The 1948
Census of Business covers Retail, Wholesale, and Service
Trades. Retail and Wholesale Trades in the Business
Census correspond with minor exceptions to these trade
divisions as described in the Standard Industrial Classi-
fication Manual, issued May 1949, under the sponsorship
of the Bureau of the Budget, Executive Office of the
President. For a discussion of the census scope of
Service Trade, see Introduction to Volume VI: Service
Trade — General Statistics. All previous Business Cen-
suses covered Retail and Wholesale Trades; Service
Trades were first enumerated in the 1933 Census.
The 1948 Census of Business includes business estab-
lishments located in continental United States and the
Territories of Alaska and Hawaii. Data for Puerto
Rico, obtained in a Census of Business for 1949, are
published separately. The 1939 Business Census covered
the same areas as the 1948 Census, and, in addition,
Puerto Rico. All earlier Business Censuses were con-
ducted only in continental United States.
Period covered by the census. — The 1948 Census of
Business is basically a report of business activity in the
calendar year 1948. However, the relatively small
proportion of establishments that maintained their
records on a fiscal-year basis and were vmable to report
on a calendar-year basis, were permitted to use a fiscal
year ending between September 30, 1948, and March 31,
1949. In a very few cases, reports were accepted for
fiscal years not falling within this range. Regardless of
the fiscal year used, all establishments were required to
report employment and payroll (except annual payroll)
for the pay periods specified on the report forms.
Method of canvass. — The 1 948 Census of Business was
conducted primarily by means of field enumeration.
For purposes of enumeration, 308 Census field offices
were established with responsibility for canvassing the
some 37,000 enumeration districts into which the Nation
was divided. Full-scale fii'ld operations for the 1948
Census of Business were begun near the end of May
1949, shortly following the principal appropriation of
funds for the census. The field work was divided into
two broad phases, each of which is described below.
The listing of business establishments, phase 1, was
completed late in September, about 4 months after
starting full-scale operations. The collection of report
forms, phase 2, was substantially completed by the end
of November 1949.
Enumerators were required to list all recognizable
businesses (except medical, dental, and law oflBces,
Government ofiices, and also farms), and in the course
of listing, to go into each business establishment to record
the name of the business and of the owner, general kind
of business conducted, whether the establishment was
part of a multiunit organization, and other items required
for subsequent operations. Each establishment was
listed bj' the enumerator as encoimtered while systemati-
cally canvassing each city block and each road or highway
in rural areas in a preassigned pattern. A separate
Listing Book (sec. IV of 'which is reproduced in appen-
dix G) was used for each enumeration district.
Dm-ing the listing operation, phase 1, appropriate
report forms were left with business establishments for
subsequent return to Census District Offices by mail.
In a small proportion of cases (usually small retail or
service businesses) the completed Census form was ob-
tained by the enumerator in the course of the listing
operation. In the case of business establishments which
were units of multiunit organizations no report form
was left for completion, unless requested by the estab-
lishment. In general, the reports for establishments
operated by multiunit organizations were prepared at
the central offices of the organizations. The reports so
obtained were checked against a card file prepared from
enumerator listings, thus insuring completeness of
multiunit organization reporting.
A large percentage of the business establishments with
which reporting forms were left during the listing opera-
tion completed the formis and mailed them to the Census
District Office without fm-ther contact from the Bureau.
Where necessary, reminder letters were mailed to estab-
lishments which had not submitted their report. Those
establishments which did not ffie their report in response
to the reminder letters were again visited by an enumer-
ator who was instructed to secure the report.
To insure that the reports received were not only
usable but met Census quality requirements, a field
office coding and editing operation was conducted. This
operation, along with the foUow-up activities to obtain
reports not promptly submitted, became phase 2 of the
field operation. All reports which did not contain re-
quired information together with those which did not
meet other quality standards were held in the field offices
until a further check could be made with respondents and
the reports corrected as necessary.
Because the completeness of coverage of the census
depended so largely on the quality of the work done by
individual enumerators during phase 1 of the enumera-
tion, considerable effort was expended in verifying and
correcting this work.
First, the work of each enumerator was checked in the
WHOLESALE TRADE
field by a crew leader or supervisor by recanvassing a
sample of the work. Wherever the listmg was found to
be unsatisfactory, the enumerator was given further in-
structions before being allowed to proceed.
Second, a complete card file of firms repoi ang to the
Social Security Admmistration's Bureau of Old Age and
Survivors Insurance was obtained. These cards were
arranged by enumeration districts and within enumera-
tion districts by street and road to facilitate checking
the cards to the listing books. The cards were individu-
ally checked to the listing books and a record made of
whether or not the firm was listed. A check was then
made to determine whether firms not listed were still
at the location indicated. If found to be at such loca-
tion, they were added to the listing. Further, if more
than a fixed percentage of listings so added were of read-
ily recognizable places of business, the entire district was
recanvassed. This latter provision was necessary be-
cause till! file included only establishments having one or
more paid employees while the census covered all
establislunents including those having no employees.
By recanvassing completely those districts haying a
significant number of estabhshments included in the
Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance files missed by
the emunerator, it was possible to minimize misses among
establishments with no employees.
Third, when the field operations were substantially
complete, but prior to closing the field offices, a careful
check by counties was made to verify establishment
totals which differed significantly from trends in neigh-
boring coimties or those with similar economic charac-
teristics. This check did not disclose any systematic
faults in the canvass.
One other step taken to insure completeness of coverage
is worthy of mention. As indicated above, the census
listing operation began in late May 1949, by which time
a number of businesses active at the end of 1948 had dis-
continued operations. Because it was not always feas-
ible to locate the 1948 owners of such businesses or to
get a report of their 1948 activities, it was sometimes
necessary to estimate their sales volume based on infor-
mation supplied by the 1949 occupants or other sources.
This procedure was used only to account for businesses
properly within the scope of the 1948 Census.
The "Post Enumeration Survey" (PES), which was
made after the completion of the enumeration, is dis-
cussed below. It provides measures of the undercover-
age of business in the census which occurred despite the
procedures noted above.
Scope of Wholesale Trade. — The Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Manual, Volume II, Nonmanufac-
turing Industries, defines Wholesale Trade as including
"establishments or places of business primai'ily engaged
in selling merchandise to retailers; to industrial, commer-
cial, institutional, or professional users; or to other whole-
salers; or acting as agents in buying merchandise for, or
selling merchandise to, such persons or companies."
The 1948 Census of Business was conducted in accordance
with this definition.
Comparison of 1948 and 1939 Wholesale Trade
scope. — With minor exceptions, the scope of Wholesale
Trade in the 1948 census is the same as for 1939. Changes
from 1939 were made with respect to coffee roasting and
leaf tobacco stemming and rcdrying establishments,
which were excluded from the 1948 Census of Business,
but covered in the 1947 Census of Manufactures.
Motion picture film distributors wei'e included with
Wholesale Trade in 1939 but not in 1948. Data for
this industry were collected and published in a special
Census of Business release. No. BC-2P-1, entitled
"Motion Picture Film Distributors." Administrative
offices and auxiliary units of wholesale establishments
were omitted in 1939, but included in 1948. Some
adjustments in 1939 data were made in the case of
individual companies which were classified differently in
1948 from 1939. Adjustments and scope changes are
reflected in those tables which contain comparative
statistics.
Type-of-operation classification. — Wliolesale Trade, as
defined above, is much broader than the conventional
concept of "wholesaler" selling primarily to retailers, as
it also includes foreign trade merchants, industrial dis-
tributors, manufacturer-owned wholesale outlets, agents,
brokers, and assemblers of farm products. As the scope
is so broad, the primary approach in classifying whole-
sale establishments is on the basis of type of operation
of the establishment. In the Standard Industrial Classi-
fication Manual, wholesale establishments are divided
into two major groups, one of which is further sub-
divided into four groups :
50 Merchant wholesalers.
51 Wholesale Trade, other than merchant wholesalers.
511 Sales branches and sales offices of manufacturing
and mining companies.
512 Petroleum bulk stations.
513 Agents and brokers.
514 Assemblers, mainly of farm products.
These major groups are recognized in presenting
Census of Business findings, but, in some tables, are
broken into more detailed types with the result that
data are shown for as many as 36 separate types of
operation. Descriptions of these 36 types are shown in
appendix B, and comparative Census classifications used
in the 1948, 1939, and 1929 Censuses for the major groups
are given in appendix D of this volume. A comparison
of classifications used in the 1948 Census and in the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual is presented
in appendix E.
Establishment basis of the census.— Census of Busi-
ness figures represent a summary of reports for individual
"establishments" rather than for the combined activities
of "companies." A separate report was obtained for
each location at which business was conducted, including
each location of multiunit organizations. For such
INTRODUCTION
organizations, a separate report also was obtained for
each central warehouse, administrative and district
office, and each other location (other than a manufactur-
ing plant) which serviced, or was auxiliary to, establish-
ments of the organization reported to the Business
Census. Each report was tabulated in accordance with
the physical location of the establishment.
Kind -of -business classification. — In addition to "loca-
tion" and "type of operation" classification, each estab-
lishment was assigned a kind-of-business classification.
A total of 145 kind-of-business classifications are recog-
nized in presenting census results for Wholesale Trade.
The 145 detailed classifications are grouped into 53
classifications which, in turn, are further arranged ac-
cording to 17 major groups. A complete listing of kinds
of business together with their descriptions is given in
appendix C of this volume, accompanied by a comparison
of census classifications used in the 1948, 1939, and 1929
Business Censuses. In contrast to 145 Census classi-
fications, SIC groups wholesale establishments under 57
kinds of business. A comparison of Census and SIC
classifications including an outline of the differences in
these two classification systems is given in appendix E.
Report forms. — Five report forms were used in enu-
merating wholesale establishments in the 194S Census
of Business. Form BC-30 was used for reporting opera-
tions of merchant wholesalers and manufacturers' sales
branches and offices primarily engaged in selling con-
sumer goods such as foods, drugs, clothing, jewelry, etc.;
Form BC-31 was used in enumerating merchant whole-
salers and manufacturers' sales branches and offices
engaged in selling industrial, commercial, or professional
goods such as electrical goods, lumber, machinery, metals,
etc.; Form BC-32 was a specialized questionnahe used
for reporting operations of petroleum bulk stations and
distributing terminals; Form BC-33 was used for enu-
merating merchandise brokers and agents; and Form
BC-34 was used for report i'jg activities of assemblers
and marketers of farm products. The five forms were
identical with respect to the basic information on number
of establishments, sales, personnel, payroU, and inven-
tories. They difTered materially, however, in the amount
and kind of detail called for on sales by commodity lines,
expenses, cash and credit business, trucks, etc.
In addition to the five forms described above. Form
BC-10 was required for each administrative office, ware-
house, or other auxiliary unit, primarily engaged in per-
forming functions for the wholesale establishments within
their ovm organization. Eeproductions of the report
forms used in enumerating Wholesale Trade appear in
appendix G.
Type of operation and kind of business detail in
tables. — The detail in which data are presented by t3^pe
of operation and kind of business in the tables in this
volume is determined, basically, by the number of es-
tablishments in the areas to which the data shown relate.
Because of the relationship between the number of
estabHshments and the number of different classifications
for which data can be presented without violating census
laws designed to prevent disclosure of confidential infor-
mation, the amount of detail shown varies.
For pi'esentation of wholesale data, a "collapsible"
stub was employed where the smaU number of estab-
lishments in an area or kind of business resulted in in-
ability to present statistics without disclosure. In such
cases, all kinds of business for which data could not be
separately shown were lumped together in an "n. e. c."
(not elsewhere classified) group. Thus, in a number of
areas, data are presented for such classifications as
"Merchant wholesalers, n. e. c," or "Manufacturers'
sales branches, n. e. c," etc. Data in different tables for
"n. e. c." groups usually are not comparable since they
can consist of a varying number of kinds of business.
Preference was given to a different procedure in certain
tables where it was feasible to use a common stub for a
number of areas. Where information for a classification
might result in disclosure of figures for an individual
establishment in this type of table, all data for the classi-
fication except "Number of establishments" were sup-
pressed. To prevent derivation of the suppressed
figures by subtraction it was necessary that data for
another classification also be withheld.
Standard metropolitan areas. — In addition to States,
counties, and cities. Census of Business statistics are
presented for standard metropolitan areas. These are
areas which have been defined and established cooper-
atively by a number of iiiterested Federal agencies under
the direction of the Bureau of the Budget for purposes of
compilation and presentation of a wide variety of statisti-
cal data on a uniform area basis.
The general concept adopted in defining a standard
metropolitan area was one of an integrated economic
unit with a large volume of daily travel and communica-
tion between a central city and the outlying parts of the
area. This resulted in an area considerably more re-
stricted, especially for the larger cities, than the "mar-
ket" or "trading" area. Each area (except in New Eng-
land) consists of one or more entire coimties. In New
England, metropolitan areas have been defined on a town
rather than on a coimty basis. A complete statement of
the principles adopted as a guide in applying this general
concept to the definition of individual areas wiU be found
in a document issued by the Bureau of the Budget,
Executive Office of the President, dated July 28, 1950,
entitled "Standard Metropolitan Area Definitions."
The 147 standard metropolitan areas for which 1948
Census of Business data are included in the Area Sta-
tistics Volumes are those defined by the Bureau of the
Budget as of June 5, 1950, on the basis of 1950 popula-
tion statistics available at that time. Subsequent to the
preparation of Census of Business tabulations, the list of
metropolitan areas was increased to 168 areas. The list
of 147 standard metropolitan areas included in the Cen-
sus of Business and the description of the territory which
they cover will be found on page 38. These areas are
also shown on the map on page 40.
THE POST ENUMERATION SURVEY
To permit an appraisal of the accuracy of its published
statistics, the Bureau of the Census conducted an inten-
sive investigation, on a sample basis, of the 1948 Census
of Business enumeration. This investigation, known as
the Post Enumeration Survey (PES), was designed
primarily to measure the completeness of coverage of
wholesale, retail, and service establishments in the 1948
Census.
Strict precautions were taken to make the PES an
independent and objective check of the census enumera-
tion. The location of the sample areas, which the PES
was to cover, was not revealed to the Bureau's field
organization until after the census enumeration had been
certified as completed and records concerning the
enumeration returned to Washington.
Census concepts and procedures. — The 1948 Census
of Business was defined as a census of "recognizable"
establishments which would provide a measure of the
volume of sales of such establishments in 1948 and of
the number of their employees. "Recognizable" estab-
lishments, for census purposes, were defined as all estab-
lishments with one or more employees, whether or not
"recognizable" as business places, as well as no-employee
establishments which, because of appearance, sign, or
marking, were recognizable to enumerators as business
places.
The 1948 Census, by definition, excluded from the
count of establishments those which were in business
during 1948 but which went out of business before
December 31, 1948. The 1948 sales of such establish-
ments, referred to subsequently as "part-year" estab-
lishments, also were omitted from the census except in a
relatively few cases where a successor establishment
included in its Census report its own 1948 sales volume
and that of its predecessor; i. e., the "part-year" estab-
lishment, and also in those cases where multiunit organi-
zations supplied data on business units which had been
discontinued during 1948.
The census enumeration was initiated by a listing
operation in which Census enumerators in each of their
enumeration districts were required to enter in a Listing
Book the name, owner, address, major category of busi-
ness, etc., for each recognizable place of business. Be-
cause of a delay in the appropriation for the census, the
full-scale listing operation did not begin until almost
June 1949 and was not substantially completed until
late September 1949. As will be indicated later, a
portion of the census "undercoverage" is attributable to
the unavoidable delay in the start of the listing operation.
Analysis of PES data for coverage. — The program of
analysis of PES data with respect to coverage has been
designed to answer the following questions:
1. What is the extent of census "undercoverage" resulting frotQ
the failure of Census enumerators to list business establishments?
2. What is the extent of net census "undercoverage" resulting
from the omission of establishments which were in business as of
the end of 1948 but went out of business before the enumerator
listing operation was conducted and from the erroneous inclusion
in the census of establishments which entered into business in 1949?
A separate PES report, planned for later issuance, will
provide additional measures including (1) a measure of
the 1948 sales volume not in the census because of the
definition excluding "part-year" businesses, (2) a measure
of differences in the 1948 sales and employment reported
in the census and, subsequently, in the PES, and (3) a
measure of difi'erences between the census and PES in
establishment classification (that is, whether an estab-
lishment was classified as "wholesale" or as "other than
wholesale").
Design and procedures of the PES. — The PES had
the following features which were introduced with the
aim of assuring accurate measurement of coverage error:
1. The area sample for the PES consisted of about 2,500 small
areas (segments) ranging in size from part of a building and part
of a city block to an entire town or village. These segments were
located in about 530 counties throughout the United States. This
sample, drawn on a probability basis, was designed to include
about 1 in 200 of the wholesale establishments in the United
States. Within the sample segments, enumerators were instructed
to reenumerate and to make a thorough field search for establish-
ments missed in the census. As an aid to this search, special map-
ping materials, including Sanborn maps which show and describe
individual structures, were provided.
2. The re-enumeration procedure was entrusted to a relatively
small group of highly selected and specially trained interviewers.
Prior to the canvass of each segment, the interviewer was provided
with the general Census listings for the enumeration district in
which the segment was located. He was also provided with
Social Security Administration (BOASI) establishment cards for
the district. In canvassing the segment the interviewer had to
account for all in-segment addresses whether or not they were
included on the Census Hstings or in the BOASI cards. Also,
the interviewer had to write, in effect, a business history of the
segment for the period January 1, 1948, to the date of his recanvass.
He was required to obtain a listing of all the occupants of each
business address in the segment for that period. The interviewer
POST ENUMERATION SURVEY
was instructed to obtain for each occupant sufficient information
on the nature of the business activitj' to permit a classification
into four major types: (i) wholesale, (ii) retail, (iii) service,
(iv) other; i. e., not in the scope of the Census of Business. Finally,
for each occupant in the first three classes, the interviewer was
required to obtain from the best possible respondent information
on 1948 sales and employment.
3. The materials obtained during the PES field work were
thoroughly reviewed and a careful re-examination made of the
Census listings to make sure that every establishment treated as
missed in the census or erroneously included properly belonged in
these categories.
PES findings on coverage of wholesale establish-
ments.— The estimated undercoverage in the census
enumeration of wholesale establishments, because of
(1) the failure of enumei-ators to list wholesale establish-
ments— "enumerator misses" and (2) omission of estab-
lishments in business on December 31, 1948, which
went out of business in 1949 before the Census listing
was begun — "late start of listing," was determined
through the PES analysis to be 0.7 percent of the 1948
sales volume and 1.3 percent of the November 15, 1948,
employment.
The PES data further indicate that this undercoverage
was produced primarily by the failure to canvass or list
small establishments. The omitted wholesale establish-
ments had, on the average, 2.3 paid employees on Novem-
ber 15, 1948, as against 10.1 paid employees for the
enumerated wholesale establishments. Saleswise, the
situation is similar. The omitted wholesale establish-
ments had, on the average, sales of $100,000 in 1948 as
against $778,000 for the enumerated wholesale establish-
ments. In terms of number of wholesale establishments
they represented 5.5 percent of the 1948 Census total.
The following table indicates the undercoverage
caused by "enumerator misses" and by "late start of
hsting," respectively:

Interpretation and limitations of PES under coverage
findings. — The PES findings are subject to the following
limitations :
1. The estimates of undercoverage of the total number of estab-
lishments is subject to a sampling error of approximately 0.8 per-
cent; that is, the chances are 2 out of 3 that the "percent of Census
total" estimates will not difl'er by more than 0.8 percent, ab-
solutely, from the true value. The sampling errors of the estimates
of uncoverage of sales and employment are approximately 0.4 and
0.6 percent, respectively.
2. In general, the weight given to each wholesale establishment
enumerated in the PES was inversely proportional to the probabil-
ity of its inclusion in the sample. In the case of three exceptionally
large establishments (two of which were accounted for by the late
listing), weights of unity rather than the appropriate sample
weight were assigned because the bias thus resulting would be far
less than the sampling error which would otherwise be introduced.
3. The "undercoverage" measures above refer only to losses
occasioned by "enumerator misses" and the "late start of listing."
These measures do not account for any differences which a change
of census definition might cause (e. g., a change which would in-
clude establishments which went out of business in 1948); or for
any differences resulting from differences in census and PES
scope and kind-of-business classifications; or from differences in
the reporting to the census and PES of 1948 sales volume or
employment.
Measures of undercoverage of retail and service estab-
lishments will be found in the PES discussion in volumes
I and VI, respectively, of the 1948 Census.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
SUMMARY OF WHOLESALE TRADE
Number of establishments. — In 194S there were in the
continental United States 244,705 estabUshments or
places of business primarily engaged in Wholesale Trade.
Of this number, 243,366 were classified as wholesale
establishments primarily engaged in marketing or selling
merchandise at wholesale and 1,339 were administrative
offices, district offices, warehouses, or other auxiliary
units engaged chiefly in administering or servicing whole-
sale establishments. Data for "wholesale establish-
ments" and for "admmistrative offices, auxiliary units"
are presented separately in tables lA and iB of this vol-
ume. Other tables in this volume are limited to whole-
sale establishments, except where the inclusion of ad-
ministrative offices and auxiliary units is specifically
noted.
Each wholesale establishment of organizations oper-
ating at more than one place of business is counted
separately. An establishment is considered to be pri-
marily engaged in 'Wliolesale Trade when its principal
function is to sell merchandise at wholesale, or to act as
an agent in the marketing of goods at wholesale. "At
wholesale" represents marketing or selling to retailers;
to other wholesalers; or to industrial, commercial, pro-
fessional, and similar types of end users rather than to
household consumers, individual buyers for personal use,
or to farmers. Although the 1948 Census of Business
enumerated all wholesale establishments regardless of
size, tabulations exclude those that operated dming the
entire year 1948 but had sales of less than $5,000. In the
1939 Census of Business the corresponding figure for
exclusion from the tabulations was $500.
The number of wholesale establishments in 1948 was
45 percent larger than at the time of the first Census of
Business (then called Distribution) which covered the
year 1929. The number increased from 168,262 in 1929
to 199,726 in 1939, an increase of 19 percent for the 10-
year period; then to 243,366 in 1948, or an increase of 22
percent in the 9-year period. Correspondingly, the
number of retail stores in the United States increased by
20 percent during the decade 1929 to 1939, but recorded
little or no change from 1939 to 1948. The number of
manufacturing establishments showed a different trend
by declining 16 percent from 1929 to 1939, then increas-
ing by 39 percent from 1939 to 1947, or a net gain of 17
percent for the 18-year period.
Sales, entire year. — Total Wholesale Trade sales for
the year 1948 amounted to $190.5 billion, $188.7 billion of
which was reported by wholesale establishments and
$1.8 billion by administrative offices and auxiliary units.
"Sales" as the term is used here (see appendix F, Ex-
planation of terms) includes receipts from merchandise
sold, together with any receipts from repairs or other serv-
ices to customers, after deducting returns and allow-
ances and trade discoimts. Sales of merchandise for
others on an agency or commission basis are included as
well as sales for the account of the reporting establish-
ment. The above totals do not include wholesale sales
made by manufacturers direct from manufacturing
plants, nor wholesale sales made by retailers. However,
they do include retail sales by wholesale establishments.
A measiu-e of wholesale sales by retail stores is presented
in volume I, chapter 15.
Sales of wholesale establishments decreased from
$66.7 billion in 1929 to $54.9 billion in 1939, a decline of
18 percent, then increased to $188.7 billion in 1948 —
a net gain from 1929 to 1948 of 183 percent. Corre-
spondingly, sales of retail stores were down 13 percent,
1939 compared with 1929, but increased by 210 percent
from 1939 to 1948— a net gam 1948 over 1929 of 170
percent.
Total 1948 Wholesale Trade sales as shown in this
volume exceeded total sales of all retail stores during the
year 1948 by $58.2 billion. This is occasioned by the
fact that Wholesale Trade, as defined in the Standard
Industrial Classification system — a definition adopted
for Census purposes — is much broader than the concept
of "wholesalers" or "jobbers" selling primarily to retail-
ers, as it also includes establishments primarily engaged
in selling (but not producing) merchandise to whole-
salers; to industrial, commercial, professional, and sim-
ilar end usei-s; or to govermnental bodies; and exporters.
Sales of wholesale establishments are analyzed by class of
customer in chapter 4 of this volume, where it is noted
that sales to retailers constituted less than one-half of the
total dollar volume.
Comparative summaries of Wholesale Trade, 1948,
1939, and 1929 are presented in tables IC and ID of this
volume.
Employment and payroll. — A total of 2,627,000 persons
were actively engaged in Wholesale Trade in November
1948. Of this number, 164,000 were active proprietors
or partners of unincorporated businesses, and 2,463,000
were employed on a salary or wage basis. Payroll,
including commissions and bonuses, of the 2.5 million
paid employees amounted to $159.5 million for the work-
week ended nearest November 15, 1948, or an average
8
WHOLESALE TRADE
of slightly less than $65 per week per employee. It
should be noicd that the $G5 represents a general average
for the country as a whole, all classes of employees in all
types of wholesale establishments. It is not necessarily
representative for any particular group of employees.
Number of employees and payroll were tabulated for
the workweeks ending nearest March 15, Julj^ 15, and
November 15. Employment during the workweek ended
nearest November 15 averaged slightly higher than
during either of the other two periods, but the difference
in most instances was small, generally less than 5 percent.
Variations from this general trend, however, may be
noted in table lE of this volume and in table 101, Volume
V, Wliolesale Trade. In tables providing figures for
only one week of employment and pajToll the data
shown are for the workweek of November 15.
Of the 2.5 million paid employees, 2.4 million were
engaged in wholesale establishments and the remainder
at administrative offices and auxiliary units. The
number of paid employees at wholesale establishments
increased from 1.6 million in 1939 to 2.4 million in 1948,
or 50 percent. During the same period the number of
paid employees of retail stores increased by 4.3 percent.
Stocks. — Inventories of merchandise on hand for sale
at the end of 1948 were valued (at cost) at $10,329
million, $10,167 million of which was reported bj' whole-
sale establishments and $162 million by administrative
offices and auxiliary units. Postwar 1948 sales were up
245 percent over prewar 1939, compared with an increase
of 164 percent in the dollar value of inventories.
Dollar value of inventories of all wholesale establish-
ments reporting both beginning- and end-of-year stocks
were up 8 percent December 31, 1948, over December
31, 1947. Not all types of establishments, however,
followed this general trend. As shown in table 5A,
dollar inventories m some classes of establishments,
notably assemblers of farm products, decreased during
the year 1948. These declines may have resulted pri-
marily from price changes.
Wholesale Trade geographically. — Wholesale Trade,
as measured in censuses for a State, city, or county
represents the total business of all wholesale establish-
ments, together with any administrative offices and
auxiliary units, located within the area. Geographic
measurement is accordmg to the location of establish-
ments from which business is conducted. Traveling
salesmen, together with then- sales, are credited to
establishments from which they operate.
States. — Table IB of this volume presents a summary
of Wholesale Trade by States for the year 1948. Table
ID is a comparative summary by States, 1948, 1939,
and 1929. New York led all other States with sales in
1948 totalmg $43.6 billion, or 22.9 percent of the national
total. Illinois ranked second with $18.3 billion sales,
followed by California and Pennsylvania, each with sales
totaling more than $10 billion. Considered together,
these four States contributed 45.4 percent of the total for
continental United States.
Data on establishments, sales, expenses, pajToll,
employment, and stocks are presented for each State by
kind of business and type of operation in table 101,
Volume V, Census of Business: 1948.
Standard metropolitan areas. — The next areas smaller
than States for which Census of Business data are
presented separately are standard metropolitan areas.
These are areas which have been defined and established
cooperatively by a number of interested Federal agencies
imder the direction of the Bm-eau of the Budget for
purposes of compilation and presentation of a wide
variety of statistical data on a uniform basis. Data on
establishments, sales, pajToU, and employment are pre-
sented separately in table 102, Volume V, Census of
Business: 1948, for 147 standard metropolitan areas —
those defined by the Bureau of the Budget as of June 5,
1950, on the basis of 1950 population statistics available
at that time. Subsequent to preparation of the Census
of Business tabulations, there were additional metro-
politan areas defined. The list of the 147 standard
metropolitan areas identified separately in the Census of
Business, together with their definitions appears on
page 38 of this volume. The areas are also shown on the.
maps, pages 40 and 41, Standard Metropolitan Areas.
Table IH of this volume presents for merchant whole-,
salers the number of establishments and sales in standard
metropolitan areas with 300,000 inhabitants or more by
49 kinds of business.
Significance of the 147 standard metropolitan areas
as wholesale trade centers may be illustrated by the fact
that although as a group they contained only sHghtly
more than one-half (54.4 percent) of the population of
the country in 1950, they accounted for two-thirds of
the wholesale establishments, 84 percent of sales, and
78 percent of employment in Wholesale Trade in 1948.
Their significance is further illustrated by the fact that
the 14 areas each having a million or more inhabitants
in 1950 contributed, as a group, 29 percent of the popu-
lation of the country, 100,000 of the 243,000 wholesale
establishments, and slightly more than one-half of
wholesale sales. The 43 areas with 250,000-499,999
inhabitants accounted for about the same proportion of
the total population (9.6 percent) as of wholesale sales
(9.4 percent). Stated differently, per capita wholesale
sales for metropolitan areas with a quarter to a half
million population is approximately the same as for the
country as a whole. Metropolitan areas with more than
one-half million inhabitants recorded per capita whole-
sale sales in excess of national average whereas the
reverse held true in smaller areas.
Weekly payi'oll of paid employees of wholesale estab-
lishments tends to be related to the size of the population
center. Compared with an average of almost $65 per
employee per week for the country as a whole, employees
in metropolitan areas of a million or more inhabitants
received an average of $73 per week. From this high
the average decreased slightly but consistently with a
decrease in the population size of the area to $54 a week

in the 2 areas with fewer than 100,000 inhabitants and to
$48 in the nonmetropohtan areas. Here also it might
be noted that these figures are average for all classes of
employees in all types of establishments and may not
be representative of any particular group.
Counties and cities. — Wholesale Trade data on num-
ber of establishments, sales, personnel, and payroll are
presented in Volume V, "Wholesale Trade — Area Statis-
tics"—for counties and for cities of 5,000 inhabitants or
more. Table 103 presents these basic data, arranged
by States, for each county and each city within the
county. Data for counties with 50 or more wholesale
establishments in 1948 are classified by type of operation
and kind of business in table 104, which also is arranged
by States. A separate Wholesale Trade bulletin con-
sisting of tables 101, 102, 10.3, and 104 was published
for each State and for the District of Columbia. For
presentation of Wholesale Trade statistics a "collapsible"
stub was emploj'ed where a small number of establish-
ments in an area or kind of business resulted in inability
to present data for all classifications without disclosure
of individual operations. In such cases, all kinds of
business for which data could not be shown separately
were grouped together in an "n. e. c." (not elsewhere
classified) group. Detail published was essentially
determined by provisions of census law directed at pre-
venting disclosure of figures for individual concerns.
Summary by type of operation. — Wliolesale Trade as
defined in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual,
a definition adopted for purposes of conducting the 1948
Census, is much broader than the usual concept of
"wholesale" or "jobber" as it also included foreign trade
merchants and industrial distributors; manufacturers'
sales branches and offices; petroleum bulk stations and
termmals; merchandise brokers and agents; and assem-
blers (mainly farm products) . For purposes of present-
ing census findings, wholesale establishments are divided
into five more or less homogeneous type-of-operation
groups and each establishment is assigned to one of the
groups according to the character of its operations and
the nature of functions performed. The five type-of-
operation groups are:
Merchant wholesalers.
Manufacturers' sales branches, offices.
Petroleum bulk stations, terminals.
Agents, brokers.
Assemblers (mainly farm products).
The five type groups are further subdivided into a
total of 36 detailed types of operation, all of which are
described in appendix B of this volume. Summary data
are presented separately for each type of operation in
table lE, and for each of the detailed types by kind of
business in table 8D.
Of the five type-of-operation groups, merchant whole-
salers are most important both in terms of number of es-
tablishments and sales. They operated 146,518 of the
243,366 wholesale establishments in the United States in
1948 and accounted for 42.3 percent of the sales. Man-
ufacturers' sales branches and offices were second from
the standpoint of sales, contributing $52.7 billion, or 28
percent of the $188.7 billion recorded by all wholesale
establishments. These totals represent only the sales
of branches and offices operated by manufacturers apart
from the manufacturing plant and do not include whole-
sale sales made by manufacturers direct from plants nor
from their general offices. Agents and brokers were
third with sales (transactions negotiated) totaling $34.6
billion, followed by assemblers with $11 billion, and
petroleum bulk stations and terminals with $10.6 billion.
Historically, merchant wholesalers also recorded the
largest increase in count of establishments since the first
Census of Business which covered the year 1929. Their
number mcreased from 79,178 in 1929 to 100,961 m 1939,
a gain of 28 percent, and to 146,518 in 1948, an additional
gain of 45 percent, or an increase of 85 percent for the
19-year period. All type-of-operation groups except
assemblers of farm products recorded increases in estab-
lishment counts from 1929 to 1939, and except for as-

semblers and petroleum bulk stations, again in 1948 over
1939. In contrast to the general trend, the number of
assemblers decreased from 34,143 at the time of the first
Census in 1929 to 28,931 m 1939 and to 19,268 in 1948, a
trend related to changes in transportation facilities.
All tj^pe groups reported substantial increases in dollar
volume of sales for 1948 over 1939 and also for 1948 over
1929. Some shifts in the pattern are noted, however,
when sales for each of the tj^pe groups is expressed as a
percent of total sales for all type groups combined. Mer-
chant wholesalers, although their number of establish-
ments increased rather sharply, barely held their own
from the standpoint of sales — decreasing slightly from
43.7 percent of the total for all types in 1929 to 41.0 per-
cent in 1939, then increasing modestly to 42.3 percent in
1948. Manufacturers' sales branches and offices in-
creased their portion of sales of all wholesale establish-
ments from 24.2 percent m 1929 to 26.0 percent in 1939,
and 28.0 percent in 1948. Agents and brokers, on the
other hand, contributed a decreasing portion of the total,
declining from 21.8 percent at the time of the first census
in 1929 to 21.5 percent in 1939 and 18.3 percent in 1948.
Petroleum bulk stations and terminals — engaged pri-
marily in the wholesale distribution of motor fuels,
lubricants, and heating oils — accounted for 3.6 percent
of the total dollar volume of wholesale establishments in
1929, 6.9 percent in 1939, but only 5.6 percent in 1948.
The relative decline from 1939 to 1948 may have been
partly a function of price.
Assemblers, their number declining consistently for the
three census years, recorded a decrease in then- portion of
sales from 6.9 percent in 1929 to 4.6 percent in 1939, then
an increase to 5.8 percent in 1948. Here also price
trends may have been a contributuag factor in the shift
in their portion of total sales of all wholesale establish-
ments. The fact that assemblers of farm products
recorded an increase, 1948 over 1939, coupled with a
decline in number of establishments mdicated a sub-
stantial increase in the average sales per establishment.
Additional information on tj'pes of operation for the
three census }"ears appears in table IC of this volume.
Summary by kind of business. — In addition to being
classified according to functional type, each wholesale
establishment was also assigned a kind-of-business
classification for purposes of preparing totals by kind of
business or trade. In general, the kind-of-business
classification assigned was based on the analysis which
each establishment reported of its total sales for the
census year classified into individual commodity or
merchandise lines. Establishments that handled lines
broad enough to overlap Census classifications were
assigned the kind of business according to their pre-
dominant activity and all of the business included in the
one kind-of-business classification. The kind-of-business
classification, while primarily on a commodity basis,
should not be confused with the total volume of business
in any one commoditj' or merchandise line since many
establishments handled more than a single line of mer-
chandise. Measures of commodity or merchandise lines
handled by the various classes of wholesale establish-
ments are given in tables 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14B of this
volume.
Wholesale establishments were classified into 145
detailed kinds of business. These detailed kinds were
grouped into 53 trade classifications which were further
arranged according to 17 major groups. Each of the
detailed kinds of business is described in appendix C.
In presenting the results on Wholesale Trade, the data
are arranged fust by type of operation, then for each of
the major type groups by kmd of business. As the
functional type groups represent somewhat different
levels of marketing, kind-of-business totals, independent
of type of operation, are not presented in the census
findings.
Basic data on number of establishments, sales, oper-
ating expenses, payroll, employment, and stocks are
presented for the major types of operation bj" kinds of
business in summary for the United States in tables lA,
IC, and IE of this volume. In Volume V, Census of
Business: 1948, the basic data are presented by ty^pe of
operation and kind of business for each State in table
101, for each standard metropolitan area in table 102,

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
13
and for each county with 50 or more wholesale establish-
ments in table 104.
Table C, below, derived from table lE of this volume,
measures in terms of number of establishments and dollar
volume of sales the importance of the 17 kind-of-business
groups under the 5 major types of operation. Measured
in dollar sales "Groceries, confectionery, meats" con-
stituted the most important classification of merchant
wholesalers and also of manufacturers' sales branches
and offices. "Farm products (raw materials)" — prin-
cipally grain and livestock commission merchants — con-
stituted the most important kind of business of agents
and brokers. Assemblers are found chiefly in the farm
products trade; and by definition, petroleum bulk sta-
tions and terminals are limited to the petroleum trade.
Again measured in terms of dollar volume of sales,
merchant wholesalers constituted the most important
type group for 12 of the 17 major kind-of-business classi-
fications. Aianufacturers' sales branches and offices
predominated in the case of "Drugs, chemicals, allied
products" — principally chemicals; "Machinery, equip-
ment, supplies"; and "Metals, metalwork (except
scrap)." Agents and brokers — chiefly commission mer-
chants— constituted the principal type of marketer of
"Inedible farm products." Petroleum bulk stations,
terminals contributed the largest portion of sales in
"Other kinds of business," as shown in the accompanying
table C.
Trends in the number of establishments and sales of
merchant wholesalers — 1929, 1939, and 1948 — are shown
for the 52 kinds of business in the accompanying table D.
Generally, the trend both in establishments and sales
was upward for 1948 over 1939 and also for 1948 over
1929. Exceptions to the general trend are noted in the
count of establishments for the general-line trades
(general-line groceries, general-line drugs, general-line
dry goods, and general-line electrical merchandise).
Here in each case the number of establishments in 1948
was lower than in 1929. "General-line dry goods" also
recorded smaller dollar sales m 1948 than in 1929. Other
kinds of business showing a smaller number of establish-
ments in 1948 than in 1929 included: Fish, sea foods;
Farm products (raw materials) ; Nonferrous metals, metal
work; and Petroleum and products.
Sales gains, 1948 over 1929, amounted to 500 percent
or more in six trades or kinds of business for which data
are shown separately in table D, below, and gains of
300-499 percent were recorded by twelve trades. Indus-
trial, heavj", and durable goods trades generally recorded
larger percentage gains than did the consumer goods
trades.
Additional historical information is presented by kind
of business in table iC of this volume.
Briefly reviewed in the following pages are findings
derived from chapters 2 through 14 of this volume.
Sales Size and Expense Analysis
Service wholesalers, a portion of the merchant whole-
saler group, and manufacturers' sales branches (with
stocks) were selected for sales size and expense analysis
studies in chapter 2. Th(< term "service wholesaler" as
used here includes the following types of operation as
described in appendix B of this volume:
Service wholesalers (domestic market) :
Wholesale merchants, jobbers.
Converters (textile).
Industrial distributors.
Foreign trade merchants:
Importers.
Exporters are excluded, but it was'necessary to include
a small number of retailer-cooperatives — limited service
establishments — in the drug trade in order to avoid
possible disclosure of individual information.

Service wholesalers, as described above, and manu-
facturers' sales branches were selected for statistical
study in chapter 2 because of their importance, their
similarity of operation, and because they are found in
most kinds of business into which Wholesale Trade is
classified. Both type groups customarily warehouse
merchandise for sale, make deliveries from stock, grant
credit, and generally sell tlu-ough salesmen. Manufac-
turers' sales branches (with stocks) differ from service
wholesalers, however, in that the latter buy and sell
merchandise on their own account while the former arc
primarily engaged in selling products of their owners'
factories.
Chapter 2 includes six tables. Tables 2A and 2B
classify service wholesalers and manufacturers' sales
branches (with stocks) by 1948 sales size. Tables 2C,
2D, and 2E analyze operating expenses of the two type
groups, whOe 2F show^s the count of service wholesalers
by sales size and operating expense ratios.
Sales size. — Of the 138,439 service wholesale estab-
lishments in the United States in 1948 only 1,734 (or
slightly more than 1 percent) reported sales for the year
of $5 million or more. Sharply contrasted with this
relatively small number of establishments in the upper-
most sales-size bracket were 29,389 establishments (22
percent) in the less-than-$50,000 bracket. The less-
than-$50,000 bracket actually represented $5,000-
$49,999, as establishments reporting sales of less than
$5,000 for the year were omitted from all Wholesale
Trade tabulations. Although the 1,734 houses in the
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
15
upper bracket represented less than 2 percent of the
estabhshments, they contributed 26 percent of the sales
of all service wholesalers. On the other extreme, the
under-$50,000 establishments as a group accounted for
only 1 percent of sales. The number of establishments
increased consistently with a decrease in sales-size
bracket. Despite this mcrease in number of establish-
ments, however, total sales decreased by sales bracket.
Operating expenses which includes payroll but not
cost of merchandise sold nor any allowances for active
proprietor-owners of unincorporated businesses, when
expressed as a percent of sales, increased consistently
with the decrease in sales size. For service wholesalers
as a group, the range was from a low of 7.4 percent of
sales in the $5-million-and-over bracket to a high of 24.3
percent in the under-$50,000 group.
Manufacturers' sales branches (with stocks) reported
larger annual sales per establishment, on the average,
than did service wholesalers as indicated by the fact that
1,266, or 8.1 percent, of the 15,716 branches were in the
$5-million-and-over group, while only 1,400, 8.9 percent,
were in the under-$50,000 bracket. In contrast to
service wholesalers, the number of manufacturei's' sales
branches varied little by sales size. However, there was
a high degree of concentration of sales in the upper brack-
ets; 60 percent of total sales were in the largest sales
bracket, 20 percent in the second bracket, and 10 percent
in the third bracket. In total the 5,056 sales branches
each with sales of a million dollars or more in 1948,
accounted for approximately 90 percent of the sales of all
manufacturers' sales branches for that year. Like
service wholesalers, operating expenses of sales branches,
when expressed as a percent of sales, increased from
larger to smaller sales-size bracket.
Data similar to the above are presented for service
wholesalers and for manufacturers' sales branches {with
stocks) in summary for the United States by kind of
business in table 2A, and for service wholesalers, kinds of
business by geographic divisions and standard metro-
politan areas with 1,000,000 inhabitants or more in table
2B. The number of size brackets or areas for which data
are presented separately varies with the kind of business
according to the number of establishments involved, the
objective being to present as much significant informa-
tion as possible without disclosing information for any
individual concern.
Operating expenses. — In tables 2C, 2D, and 2E of this
volume, the operating expenses of service wholesalers
(as defined above) and manufacturers' sales branches
(with stocks) are divided into the following functional
classifications: Administrative expenses; selling expenses;
shipping, delivery expenses; warehousing expenses;
occupancy expenses; and other expenses. All service
wholesalers and manufacturers' sales branches (with
stocks) with total sales for the year 1948 exceeding
$200,000 were asked to report their expenses on this
basis. Where expense records were not kept in a manner
readily permitting this grouping of accounts, respondents
were requested to make adjustments on the basis of their
best judgment. A description of the expense terms is
given in appendix F of this volume.
Data are presented for the two type groups in summary
for the United States in tables 2C and 2E by kind of liusi-
ness. Within sales-size groups of service wholesalers,
table 2C, information is shown for incorporated, or
"corporate" businesses separate from unincorporated or
"noncorporate" businesses. The latter consists pri-
marily of sole proprietorsiiips and partnerships. Detail
by sales size and corporate versus noncorporate structure
varies by kind of business depending upon the number of
establishments. Expense data are presented in table
2D for service wholesalers by kind of business in standard
metropolitan areas of 1,000,000 inhabitants or more.
Tables 2C, 2D, and 2E, are limited to service whole-
salers and manufacturers' sales branches (with stocks)
whose sales for the year 1948 amounted to $200,000 or
more. ,
As not all service wholesalers and manufacturers'
branches with sales of $200,000 or more submitted com-
plete expense analyses, the number of establishments
for which data are shown for a classification may be
somewhat less than the total number in the classification
with sales above the cutoff. The tables provide a meas-
ure of coverage for each classification by showing the
number of establishments, sales, and expense ratios
(expenses as a percent of sales) for all establishments

above the cutoff as well as information for those reporting
the expense detail.
Operating expenses in the meat trade.— An expense
analysis carries significance when considered in connec-
tion with a given kind of business. Meat wholesaling
has been selected for consideration here although similar
analyses could be prepared for other kinds of business.
Data reviewed here appear on pages 2.80 and 2.111 of
this volume.
Of the 2,059 meat (service) wholesalers in the United
States with sales of $200,000 or more during the census
year, 1,476 analyzed their expenses according to the six
functional groups. Sales of these 1,476 wholesalers
analyzing their expenses totaled $1,534,927,000 and their
operating expenses amounted to 7.2 percent of sales for
the year. Stated differently, it cost this group of meat
wholesalers $72 to market a representative bill of goods
amounting to $1,000. The $72 was divided as follows:
$21 for administrative expenses; $16 for selling expenses;
$13 for shipping expenses; $7 for warehouse expenses;
$12 for occupancy expenses (or $19 for warehouse and
occupancy combined) ; and $3 for other expenses. Whole-
salers in the larger sales brackets — those with sales of
$5,000,000 or more — as a group recorded a somewhat
smaller cost, $47, to market a $1,000 bill of goods.
Smaller ratios are noted in the upper brackets under aU
expense items except "Other."
As was found to be true in general in the review of table
2A, smaller establishments in the meat trade recorded
higher operating expense ratios than larger ones. Par-
ticularly was this true with respect to administrative,
sellinEr. shipping, and occupancy costs.
Within sales-size brackets, "noncorporate" businesses
generally show lower total operating expense ratios than
the incorporated businesses. Lower ratios are noted for
"noncorporate" particularly under administrative ex-
penses. This difference may be attributed, in part at
least, to the fact that operating expenses as presented in
census findings include no allowances for withdrawals by
active proprietors and partners, the number of whom is
shown in the last column of tables 2C, 2D, and 2E.
Meat packers' sales branches. — Of the 731 meat
packers' sales branches with sales of $200,000 or more,
692 analyzed their expenses. Total expenses of those
analyzed amounted to 4.1 percent of sales compared with
4.2 percent for all branches with sales above the cut-off.
Expenses-as-a-percent-of-sales for packer branches were
lower than those reported for service wholesalers. This
may be explained in part by the fact that the buying
function is subordinated or nonexistent for branches.
This is reflected in the difference in administrative
expenses as between the two types: 2.1 percent for
service wholesalers compared with 0.8 percent for
packers' sales branches.

Sales size and expense ratios. — Although larger estab-
lishments generally have lower operating expense ratios
than small ones, the correlation is by no means perfect.
Table 2F of this volume shows for service wholesalers the
number of establishments for each kind of business by
1948 sales-size brackets and operating-exponse-ratios
brackets. The portion of the table relating to Meat,
Meat Products Wholesalers is reproduced in table F, below.
Of the 3,336 meat (service) wholesalers in the United
States in 1948, 919, or almost 30 percent, recorded expense
ratios of less than 5 percent. On the other extreme, 188
recorded expenses of 20 percent or more with the number
of establishments decreasing rather consistently from
lower- to upper-expense-ratio brackets. Not only does
the largest number of establishments for each sales-size
bracket appear in the lowest expense ratio bracket but
the greatest "low-expense" concentration appears in the
largest sales bracket — with two-thirds of the 36 meat
wholesalers with sales of $5,000,000 or more reporting
expense-to-sales ratios of less than 5 percent. The fact
that expense ratios vary widely within sales-size brackets
reflects the many functions influencing operating ex-
penses other than size, among which are: amount and
type of services rendered; geographic location with re-
spect to supplier and customer ; type of customer served ;
amount of processing, if any; and class of merchandise
handled.
Credit Sales, Receivables, Bad Debt Losses
Report forms used in the 1948 Census of Busmess pro-
vided for reporting of credit sales, beginning- and end-
of-year receivables, end-of-year number of credit ac-
counts, and bad debt losses during 1948 by merchant
wholesalers and manufacturers' sales branches. Credit
terms are described in appendix F of this volume. Re-
sults of these inquiries are presented in table 3A in
summary for the United States for merchant wholesalers
and for manufacturers' sales branches (with stocks) by
kind of business; and in table 3B for standard metro-
politan areas with 500,000 inhabitants or more for mer-
chant wholesalers by kind of business. Table 3C cross-
tabulates credit information of merchant wholesalers by
sales size and number of credit accounts. This table is
limited to a summary for the United States.
Tables 3A and 3B include, for their respective areas,
all merchant wholesalers and manufacturers' sales
branches (with stocks) indicating that they did any
credit business during 1948. Establishments selling on
a cash basis only are not included. The importance of
those making credit sales compared with totals including
those doing a cash business only may be measured for
the United States as a whole by comparing totals in
table 3A with those in table lE of this volume, and may
be measured for standard metropolitan areas having
500,000 inhabitants or more by comparing table 3B of
this volume with the respective areas in table 102, in
Volume V, Census of Business: 1948. Generallj^', estab-
lishments doing no credit business have considerably
smaller annual dollar sales volume than those extending
credit.
Not all establishments selling on credit submitted
complete information on this inquiry. The findings are
expressed in terms of ratios or relationships that are
based on those supplying credit mformation. Extent of
coverage of this inquiry is indicated by the fact that total
sales of those submitting complete returns averaged
approximately 90 percent of sales of all establishments
doing a credit business, and that with few exceptions
credit data are not shown separately for classifications
with credit-sales coverage of less than 70 percent.
Credit sales. — Of the 146,518 merchant wholesalers
in the country, 122,289 reported that at least a portion
of their 1948 sales were on credit. Total sales of the
122,289 establishments amounted to $73.7 biflion, 85.5
percent of which was on credit. Similarly, 15,301 of the
15,716 manufacturers' sales branches reported that they
sold on credit. Total sales of the 15,301 branches
amounted to $29.1 billion, 84.5 percent of which was on
credit.
Credit sales as a percent of total sales of those extend-
ing credit varied considerably for merchant wholesalers
by kind of business, but with few exceptions, notably
cash-carry grocery wholesalers making some "time"
sales, beer-ale wholesalers, and automobile and other
motor vehicle wholesalers, credit represented more than
one-half of their business. Approximately one-half of
the kinds of business show credit sales, as defined above,
accounting for 90 percent or more of their total business.
Manufacturers' sales branches reported an even larger
proportion of credit sales for most kinds of business than
did merchant wholesalers.

WHOLESALE TRADE
Receivables. — Accounts and notes receivable resulting
from the sale of merchandise, and held by merchant
vi^holesalers at the end of 1948, amounted to 8.4 percent
of credit sales during the year. This would indicate
receivables turnover at the rate of approximately once a
month. End-of-year receivables of manufacturers' sales
branches represented 9 percent of their credit sales during
1948, a slightly higher ratio than for merchant whole-
salers. As might be expected end-of-year receivable
ratios varied considerably by kind of business ranging,
for merchant wholesalers, from a low of 3.2 percent for
retailer-cooperative grocery wholesalers to a high of 19.3
percent for general-line jewelry wholesalers. Variations
by kmd of business were greater for manufacturers'
sales branches than for merchant wholesalers, ranging
from a low of 3.1 percent for meat packer sales branches
to a high of 40 percent for sales branches of laundry, dry
cleaning equipment manufacturers.
Receivables of both merchant wholesalers and manu-
facturers' sales branches were higher at the end than at
the beginning of the year 1948. They were up 6.5 per-
cent in the case of merchant wholesalers and 3.4 percent
for sales branches.
Bad debt losses. — Bad debt losses (receivables written
off during 1948 as uncollectible) represented 0.14 percent
of credit sales for merchant wholesalers and 0.04 percent
for manufacturers' sales branches. The loss ratio for
merchant wholesalers varied considerably by kind of
business or trade, ranging from a low of 0.01 percent for
railroad equipment and supplies distributors to a high of
0.61 percent for store machines, fixtures distributors.
Losses of manufacturers' sales branches ranged from a
low of less than 0.01 percent for a number of kinds of
business to a high of slightly more than 1 percent for
books, periodicals, and newspapers.
Number of credit accounts. — Merchant wholesalers
doing a credit business averaged 300 credit accounts per
establishm_ent compared with 592 credit accounts per
manufacturers' sales branch. Average 1948 credit sales
per credit account amounted to $1,873 for merchant
wholesalers and $2,842 for manufacturers' sales branches.
Considerable variation may be noted by land of business
in table 3A, both in number of credit accounts and in
average 1948 credit sales per account.
As indicated above, credit data for merchant whole-
salers are cross tabulated in table 3C by sales size and
by number of credit accounts. For each size group the
number of establishments, bad debt loss ratios (losses
expressed as a percent of credit sales), average annual
credit sales per account, and average number of credit
accounts are presented by kmd of business for the
United States as a whole.
Information in this table may be summarized as
follows: Bad debt loss ratios tend to bear an inverse
relationship to size as measured by annual credit sales
volume. Larger establishments in general tend to have
lower bad debt loss ratios than smaller ones. For exam-
ple, the loss ratios decreased from 0.36 percent for mer-
chant wholesalers with credit sales of less than $200,000
per year to 0.26 percent for those in the $200,000-
$499,999 bracket, to 0.19 percent for those in the
$500,000-$999,999 bracket, and to 0.09 percent for those
in the $l,000,000-and-over bracket. Within credit-sales-
size brackets the pattern of bad debt losses varies con-
siderably by size as measured in terms of number of
credit accounts with some tendency toward a decline in
losses for establishments with the smaller number of
accounts.
Sales by Class of Customer
Each of the five report forms used in enumerating
wholesale establishments (see reproductions in appendix
G of this volume) provided for reporting 1948 sales by
class of customer. Four of the five forms provided for
reporting separately: sales to retailers; sales to indus-
trial, institutional, professional, and other similar type
of end users; sales to wholesale organizations; sales to
household consumers and individual users (retail sales) ;
and export sales. These five classifications were designed
to encompass all sales. Form 32, the one used in enu-
merating petroleum bulk stations and terminals, provided
for only a two-way break: sales to resellers and sales to
consumers or users. Terms used in this inquiry are
described more full}^ in appendix F.
Findings of these inquiries are presented in tables 4A
and 4B of this volume. Table 4A is a summary for the
United States by type of operation and kind of business.
Table 5B presents class-of-customer information for
each of the 32 standard metropolitan areas with 500,000
inhabitants or more. Table G, below, presents a com-
parative summary, by type of operation, of sales by class
of customer, 1948, 1939, and 1935. Similar information
was not developed in the first Business Census covering
the year 1929.
Class-of-customer information was generally available
from book records, or on the basis of reliable estimates.
Records of assistance in supplying this information
included among others: sales by functional discounts;
State sales tax reports, particularly in States with differ-
ential functional ratios; export declarations; and farm
accounts. The extent to which establishments supplied
this information for any particular classification is
indicated in the tables by a comparison between the
entry in the column "All establishments — sales, entire
year" and the corresponding entry "Establishments
analyzing sales . . . sales, entire year." For most
classifications the analj'sis is 90 percent or more complete.
Of the total $79.8 billion sales of merchant whole-
salers, $75.8 billion, or 95.1 percent, was analyzed by
class of customer. The $75.8 billion was distributed as
follows: 46.9 percent, or less than one-half, to retailers;
31.8 percent, or slightly less than one-third, to industrial
and similar end users; 13.7 percent to wholesale organi-
zations, presimiably duplicated elsewhere in Wholesale
Trade; 1.6 percent to home or individual users (retail
sales); while 6.0 percent represented exports. Histori-

cally the portion of sales to retailers declined from 59.2
percent in 1935 to 59.0 in 1939 and to 46.9 percent in
1948. Relative increases are noted historically in other
customer classes, except the household consumers classi-
fication. Sales to industrial, commercial, and institu-
tional users increased from 23.7 percent of the total in
1939 to 31.8 percent in 1948.
Manufacturers' sales branches and offices recorded
relatively little change in sales by class of customer,
postwar 1948 compared with prewar 1939; but, like mer-
chant wholesalers, sales to retailers showed a relative
decline since 1935, offset by increases for all other
customer classes. Appro.ximatcly one-third of their
1948 sales was to retailers, two-fifths to industrial and
simUar end users, and one-fourth to wholesale organiza-
tions.
Petroleum bulk stations and terminals reported that
five-eighths of their 1948 sales were to resellers and three-
eighths to users. The portion going to users increased
substantially 1948 over 1935.
As expected, agents and brokers sell primarily to, or
buy for, industrial users and wholesale organizations.
Only about one-sixth of their transactions in 1948 were
with retailers, and minor portions with home consumers
and f»r export. Sales to, or purchases for, industrial
users recorded relative gains 1948 over 1935, offset by
declines in sales to retailers and sales to wholesale
organizations.
Wholesale organizations constituted the principal
customer of assemblers of farm products, taking 51.8
percent of their 1948 sales. Industrial users were second
with 32.6 percent of their sales, followed by other cus-
tomer classes with lesser portions. Sales to industrial
users recorded relative increases historically, offset by a
decline in sales to retailers.
Findings in table G, below, may be summarized
briefly as follows: Retailers constituted the most im-
portant class of customer for only two of the five major
type-of-operation groups — merchant wholesalers and
petroleum bulk stations, terminals. Each of the five
major type groups recorded relative decreases in sales to
retailers historically. As customers of wholesale estab-
lishments, the importance of industrial and similar end
users is increasing. For most classifications, retail sales
of wholesale establishments are relatively unimportant.
"Export sales" represent but a small portion of the total
and show a tendency to fluctuate from one census year
to another.

Legal Form of Organiziation
Approximately one-half, or 49.9 percent, of the 243,366
wholesale establishments in the United States in 1948,
were operated as incorporated businesses, approxi-
mately one-third were sole proprietorships, one-sLxth
were partnerships, and a small number were classified as
"other forms," which include such miscellaneous owner-
ship types as nonincorporated cooperative associations,
receiverships, estates, etc.
Incorporated businesses accounted for 75.7 percent of
sales of all wholesale establishments, followed in turn by
12.8 percent for partnerships, 10.7 percent for sole
proprietorships, and 0.8 percent for "other forms." In
terms of sales, corporate businesses represented the
most important legal form for each of the five type-of-
operation groups, both in prewar 1939 and postwar 1948.
In 1948 they contributed approximately three-fourths of
the sales of merchant wholesalers, almost all, 99.5 per-
cent, of the business of manufacturers' sales branches

and offices, 90 percent for petroleum bulk stations,
terminals, and about one-half of the sales of agents and
brokers, and also of assemblers. Their portion of total
sales remained about the same for each of the type groups
1948 compared with 1939 except in the case of assemblers,
where corporations registered an increase from 37.1
percent to 53.6 percent.
In terms of number of 1948 establishments, corpora-
tions also constituted the most important legal form
for all but one of the five major type groups — agents
and brokers, where sole proprietorships predominated by
operating 55.8 percent of the establishments. Sole
proprietorships operated 48.9 percent of the establish-
ments classified as assemblers in 1939 but by 1948 were
outnumbered by corporations.
Legal form data are presented in table 5 A for the
United States as a whole by type of operation and kind
of business, and in summary for each State in table 5B.

Size, by Number of Employees
Data for wholesale establishments, classified by size
based on the number of paid employees during the work-
week ended nearest November 15, 1948, are presented m
chapter 6. The chapter includes two tables: Table 6A
is a summary for the United States, type-of-operation
groups by kind of business, while table 6B presents a sum-
mary for each State by employee size. Data for the
country as a whole are summarized m table I, below.
Data in this table are limited to "wholesale establish-
ments" and do not cover "administrative offices, auxil-
iary units." An explanation of terms is given m appen-
dix F.
A total of 2,555 wholesale establishments had 100 or
more employees as of November 15, 1948. As a group
these 2,555 establishments accounted for one-fifth of all
paid personnel at that time and had an annual payroll
totaling $1.7 billion, or 21.4 percent of the total for all
wholesale establishments.
On the other extreme 36,682 establishments had no
paid employees as of mid-November, 1948. A total of
42,602 proprietor-owners, however, were actively en-
gaged in these businesses. Many of these establish-
ments had paid employees at other times of the year as
indicated by the fact that while they had no payroll for
the workweek ended nearest November 15, their total
payroll for the year 1948 amounted to $25 million.
Payroll for the workweek ended nearest November 15,
all employee-size groups combined, averaged over $64
per paid employee. The weekly average was about the
same for all employee-size groups except in the lower
brackets where the number of active proprietoi's, not
included in paid emploj^ees, is most significant.
Trucks, Truck'Tractors, Trailers
Four of the five report forms used in enumerating
wholesale businesses provided for reportiag number of
trucks, truck-tractors, and trailers operated in December
1948. The inquiry did not appear on Form BC-33, used
in enumerating merchandise brokers and agents; for, as a
rule, they do not handle the merchandise sold. Pro-
vision was made for reporting the nftmber of trucks and
truck-tractors by manufacturers' rated capacity as follows :
Under IK tons; iKtons; over iK tons, under 5 tons; and 5
tons and over; also provision was made for reporting the
number of semitrailers and trailers. Results of this in-
quiry are presented m chapter 7 which includes three
tables: Table 7A, United States Summary, type groups
by kind of business; table 7B, United States Summary by
geographic divisions and States; and table 7C, each State
by type of operation and kind of business. The data are
limited to company-operated (private carrier) vehicles
owned or leased and do not include contract or common
carrier vehicles. A summary for the United States by

type of operation and rated capacity is shown in table J,
below.
Wholesale organizations, other than agents and brok-
ers, operated 366, .330 trucks, 26,762 truck-tractors, and
30,594 semitrailers and trailers, or a total of 423,686
road-type vehicles as of December 1948. Among the
trucks, those with manufacturers' rated capacity of iK
tons were most common, numbering 144,251. Merchant
wholesalers differ from other types of operation in that
they use more under-lK-ton trucks than any other size.
"Over IK tons, under 5 tons" constituted the most
common type of truck-tractor in total and for each of
the four type groups.
Of the 146,518 merchant wholesalers in the country,
78,910 or 53.9 percent, each reported that they operated
one or more trucks, truck-tractors, or trailers during
December 1948. The 78,910 establishments reported a
total of 237,774 trucks, 14,503 truck-tractors, and 17,003
trailers and semitrailers, or a total of 269,280 vehicles,
an average of 3}i per establishment. In the count of
trucks, dairy and poultry products wholesalers ranked
first among the kinds of business with 38,684, beer and
ale distributors ranked second with 20,269, followed in
turn by fruit and vegetable wholesalers with 17,662, and
general-line grocery wholesalers with 15,993 trucks.
Less than one-half of manufacturers' sales branches
(with stocks)— 6,537 of 15,716— reported a total of 32,350
vehicles or an average of approximately 5 per sales
branch. Each of the 29,451 petroleum bulk stations and
terminals reported one or more trucks, truck-tractors, or
trailers for a total of 91,271 vehicles — an average of 3 per
establishment. Among the types of operation, petroleum
bulk stations and terminals constituted the principal
user of truck-tractors and trailers, 8,761 of the former
and 9,066 of the latter having such vehicles. 9,226 of the
assemblers of farm products reported that they operated
26,445 vehicles in December, or an average of slightly
fewer than 3 per establishment.

WHOLESALE TRADE
City size. — Wholesale establishments are grouped in
table 8A according to the size of the city (based on pre-
liminary 1950 population counts) in which they are
located. The table presents basic information on num-
ber of establishments, sales, expense-as-percent-of-sales
ratios, payroll, employment, and stocks by type-of-opera-
tion groups, kind of business, and city size. A brief
summary is presented in table K below.
A total of 88,830 of the 243,366 wholesale establish-
ments in the country in 1948 were located in cities of
500,000 inhabitants or more. These 88,830 establish-
ments accounted for 51.7 percent of the sales, 49.1 percent
of the 1948 payi'oll, and 42.0 percent of the paid employees
of all wholesale establishments for that year. In con-
trast the 18 cities in this size bracket contained only 17.5
percent of the country's population in 1950.
Concentration of Wholesale Trade in the larger cities
is further illustrated by the fact that 131,491, or more
than one-half of all establishments, were located in the
106 cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more. Establish-
ments in these cities accounted for almost three-fourths,
73.3 percent, of the sales, 72.7 percent of the annual pay-
roll, and 65.8 percent of the paid employees of all whole-
sale establishments. However, these cities contained
only 29.2 percent of the population of the country. As
shown in table A, above, if the measure is based on
metropolitan areas rather than cities, the concentration
is even greater.
Of the total of 243,366 wholesale establishments,
41,838 were located in iucorporated places having less
than 2,500 inhabitants, or in unincorporated places and
rural areas. These establishments — chiefly petroleum
bulk stations and assemblers of farm products — recorded
8.4 percent of the sales, 6.2 percent of annual payroll,
and 9.0 percent of the paid employees of wholesale
establishments, contrasted with 42.9 percent of the
country's population. It should be observed that in
census results all sales, payroll, and employment (in-
cluding traveling salesmen) are credited to the city or
area in which the establishment from which the business
is conducted is located. Consistent with the findings in
table A, average weekly payroll per paid employee is
highest in the largest population centers and decreased
with city size. Compared with the average of $64 per
week for the country as a whole, payroll for the work-
week ended nearest November 15, 1948, amounted to
$74 in cities of 500,000 inhabitants or more. From this
high it declined with the decrease in city size to $47 in
the next to the lowest city-size bracket.
Firm size. — Wholesale Trade is analyzed in table 8B
according to the number of wholesale establishments
under a single ownership into the following classifications:
1 wholesale establishment only; 2 establishments; 3 to 5
establishments; 6 to 9 establishments; 10 to 14 estab-
lishments; 15 to 24 establishments; 25 to 49 establish-
ments; 50 to 99 establishments; and 100 or more whole-
sale establishments. Administrative offices and auxiliary
units are included, but shown separately in the summary
totals. A comparative summary by firm size, 1948 and
1939, limited to wholesale establishments, is given in
table L, below. Data as shown in table L for the year
1939 are unadjusted for scope changes of 847 establish-
ments and $377 mQhon sales. Changes from 1939 were
made with respect to coffee roasting and leaf tobacco
stemming and redrying establishments, which were
excluded from the 1948 Census of Business but covered
in the 1947 Census of Manufactures. Motion picture
film distributors were included with Wholesale Trade in
1939 but not in 1948. Administrative offices and
auxiliary units were omitted in 1939 but included in
1948. Scope changes are further explained in the intro-
duction to the volume under the heading "Comparison
of 1948 and 1939 Trade Scope."
The 243,366 wholesale establishments in the country
in 1948 were operated by 181,745 different companies,
firms, or other ownerships. More than two-thirds, or
172,142, of the 243,366 wholesale establishments in 1948
were owned by companies, concerns, or individuals who
had only one wholesale establishment. Importance of
the single-unit establishments is indicated by the fact
that as a group they accounted for approximately
one-half, 49.7 percent, of the sales of all wholesale
establishments. On the other extreme 133 firms each
operated 50 or more wholesale establishments. These

All firm-size groups recorded increases in number of
firms and in number of establishments, 1948 over 1939,
with the largest increase in the single-establishment
firms. Some slight changes are noted, however, in the
portion of total sales accounted for by the various firm-
size groups, with a slight tendency toward an increase in
larger size brackets. Single-unit establishments — al-
though their number increased by 35,255, or 82.4 percent
of the total increase in establisliment count — recorded a
decrease from 52.1 percent to 49.7 percent of total sales.
On the other extreme, sales of firms operating 50 or more
wholesale establishments increased from 14.0 percent to
17.2 percent of the total. Each of the firm-size groups
from 1 through 10-14 establishments, except one, re-
corded some decrease in portion of total sales, 1948
compared with 1939, while all groups above this level
recorded increases. Firms operating two wholesale
establishments accounted for the same portion of sales
in 1948 as in 1939—5.2 percent.
Data on number of firms are shown in table 8B at the
summaiy level only, not by type of operation or kind of
business. Firm size is based on the total number of
wholesale establishments operated by a company during
1948, regardless of the type of operation or kind of busi-
ness. For example, a company that may have operated a
v\^holesale drug house, a wholesale hardware house, and
two petroleum bulk stations was counted as one firm
with four establishments. However, a company that
operated one or more wholesale establishments and other
establishments in business or industries other than whole-
sale, was classified by the number of wholesale establish-
ments only.
Dale acquired. — Census report forms provided for
reporting for each wholesale establishment "Date of
acquiring or establishing this business in this city under
present ownership: (month) (year)." In tabulating the
results of this inquiry, establishments which at the end
of 1948 were operated by original owners were classified
according to the date business was started. Others were
classified according to the latest date the business
changed ownership prior to the end of 1948. Change of
name, without a change of the actual owners, was not
considered change of ownership; neither was a change of
location of the establisliment within the same city, if it
continued at the new location under the same ownership.
However, a change in the legal form of organization,
e. g., from partnership to corporation or a change from
partnership to sole proprietorship, was considered a
change in ownership; and the acquisition date reported
was that of the latest change in legal form.
Findings of this inquiry are presented in table 8C
for the country as a whole by type of operation and
kind of business. Establishments are grouped histori-

WHOLESALE TRADE
cally according to the time the business was acquired,
or started, by 1948 owner. In addition to table 8C,
a brief summary for the United States is presented by
, type of operation in table M, below.
Of the 243,336 wholesale establishments in the United
States, 29,951, mostly establishments of multiunit organ-
izations, failed to report this item of information. The
following statements refer only to the 213,415 wholesale
establishments that reported "date acquired" informa-
tion and to the sales of these establishments.
Of the 213,415 wholesale establishments in the country
at the end of the census year that reported this informa-
tion 19,162, or 9 percent, either changed ownership dur-
ing or were started in 1948. Approximately one-third,
31.5 percent, were acquired, or were started, by their 1948
owners since 1945. On the other extreme, 2,976 es-
tablishments operated continuously under the same
ownership in the same city for more than 49 years, having
been acquired by their 1948 owners prior to 1900.
Considering all types of establishments together, busi-
nesses started or acquired in 1948 accounted for 3.7
percent of the sales, and those operated under continuous
ownership since 1945 accounted for 19.4 percent of sales.
On the other extreme establishments operated continu-
ously under the same ownership since 1899 contributed
4.4 percent of the sales and those operated under the
same ownership for 21 years or more (acquired or started
by 1948 owner prior to 1928) accounted for 20.3 percent
of the total.
Large annual sales per establishment are generally
associated with long operation under the same ownership.
Establishments, all types of operation combined, acquired
prior to 1900 by 1948 owners had an average annual sales
volume in 1948 of $2,404,000. From this high, the
average dropped rather consistently to $529,400 for
those started or taken over during the period 1946-47.
Average sales of places of business established or acquired
in 1948 amounted to only $309,000, but many of these
did not report for a full 12-months' operation.
Detailed types of operation. — Thirty-six detailed types
of operation are identified in census findings on Whole-
sale Trade. Basic data on establishments, sales, expen-
ses, payroll, and employment are presented separately for
these detailed types in summary for the United States by
kind of business in table 8D. Sequence or arrangement

In addition to the continental United States, the 1948
Census of Business also covered the Territories of Alaska
and Hawaii. Information published on Wholesale Trade
for these- Territories is similar to that presented for
States.
Basic data on number of wholesale establishments,
sales, expenses, payroll, employment, and stocks are
shown for each of the Territories as a whole by type of
operation and kind of business in table 101. Data are
shown in table 103 for judicial divisions in the case of
Alaska and for counties in Hawaii. In each instance
information is shown separately for cities of 5,000 inhabi-
tants or more. Table 104 presents the basic information
for each division or county with 50 or more wholesale
establishments, by kind of business. Tables 101, 103,
and 104 appear in Volume V, Census of Business 1948,
Wholesale Trade, Area Statistics. Table 102 does not
appear in this series as neither Territory contains any of
the 147 standard metropolitan areas for which data are
shown in 1948 Census of Business volumes. Summary
information from table 101 is presented by type-of-
operation groups in the accompanying table 0.
There were 111 wholesale establishments in the Territory
of Alaska in 1948 with sales amounting to $32.2 million
and a total payroll for $1.5 million for the census year.
Paid employees of the 111 establishments numbered 460
dm-hig the workweek ended nearest November 15, 1948,
at an average wage of $60 for the week. Hawaii had
702 wholesale establishments with sales totaling $480.7
million and a total payroll for the year of $27.8 million.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
31
lishments in this Territory averaged $65 for the work-
week ended nearest November 15, 1948. Petroleum
bulk stations and terminals constituted the principal
type of operation in Alaska while merchant wholesalers
led in Hawaii.
The Territories were covered in only one of the previous
Censuses of Business, the 1939 census. For both Terri-
tories the number of wholesale establishments was about
the same in postwar 1948 as in prewar 1939, but sales
increased 257.3 percent in Alaska and 395.4 percent in
Hawaii.

Sales by Commodity or Merchandise Lines
Four of the five report forms used in enumerating
wholesale establishments in the 1948 Census of Business
provided for analysis of sales during the census year by
commodity or merchandise lines. The arrangement of
the inquiries may be seen in the reproduction of the report
forms in appendix G of this volume. Form BC-33, used
in enumerating agents and brokers, did not provide for
the commodity-line analysis of sales. Chapters 10
through 14 present the findings developed from these
inquiries.
Reviewed in this section are chapters 10 through 13
only. Chapter 14, which presents the findings for pe-
troleum bulk stations and terminals as developed from
Form BC-32, is described in the following section.
Chapters 10 through 13 were published as a separate
subject bulletin entitled "U. S. Census of Business: 1948,
Wholesale Trade — Commodity Line Sales — Bulletin No.
2-W-lO to 13."
Chapter 10 is a summary for the United States and
consists of four tables, each presenting commodity-line
information for a type-of-operation group, by kind of
business as follows:
Table No. : Type of operation
lOA Merchant wholesalers.
lOB Manufacturers' sales branches (with
stocks).
IOC Manufacturers' sales ofiices (without
stocks).
lOD Assemblers (mainly farm products).
Chapters 11, 12, and 13 consist of one table each,
presenting similar information by Census geographic
divisions. States comprising the geographic divisions
are indicated on the map, page 42.
Table 11 covers merchant wholesalers and presents
commodity-line data for the various kinds of business by
geographic divisions. Table 12 presents similar infor-
mation for manufacturers' sales branches (with stocks)
and table 13 for assemblers (mainly farm products).
Commodity-line mformation for manufacturers' sales
offices (without stocks) is limited to the United States as
a whole — table IOC.
An index to the kinds of business in tables 10, 11, 12,
and 13 is given on page 10.02. Also, as a guide to locat-
ing information, a kind of business and geographic
division index appears on the first page of each of the
chapters 10, 11, 12, and 13.
Meaning of "commodity line". — The term "com-
modity line," as used in this volume, represents a group
of related commodity items. Sometimes the group of
items is broad enough to be referred to as a merchandise
line. The groupings were established, for census pur-
poses, in consultation with the representatives of sup-
pliers of the information, and with users of census data.
Consideration was given to the more common groupings
of lines maintained by business establishments for sales
record purposes as well as to needs for detailed sales
analyses.
All commodity or merchandise items were grouped, for
census purposes, into 126 principal commodity lines.
Fifty-eight of the 126 principal or major lines were
further subdivided into 274 detailed lines, giving a total
of 400 classifications. "Receipts from services and
sources other than sale of merchandise" was considered
as a commodity line (No. 126), hence the sum of all
commodity-line sales items is equivalent to total sales.
Commodity coverage and limitations of data. —
Respondents were requested to select from the lines listed
(see pp. 10.03 and 10.04 for complete list of commodity
lines) the particular ones that applied to their business
and to report book figures where available; otherwise,
they were to report on the basis of the best possible ap-
proximation. Additional space was provided for writing
in items not on the standard list. Written-in items
subsequently were allocated to their proper place among
the 400 commodity lines, or were included in "Miscellane-
ous lines of merchandise."
The commodity-line classification shown on a particu-
lar census report form was limited to those lines which
might reasonably be handled by kinds of business re-
quired to report on that form. In the relatively few
instances where businesses did not report on the correct
form, data may not have been analyzed in the same
detail as by other estabhshments in the same kind of
business which reported on the correct form. The effect
of this was to increase the amount in the "miscellaneous"
category. This led to some loss of detail; however, a
careful examination of the schedules leads to the con-
clusion that the loss for individual commodity lines which
this occasioned is statistically insignificant.
Not all respondents reported their sales by commodity
lines. Had all returns been analyzed on this basis, sales

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
33
of establishments analyzed would have been the same as
total sales of all establishments and commodity coverage
would have been 100 percent. The extent to which the
analysis was complete for any trade or area may be
measured by comparing sales for "AU establishments"
and sales of "Those analyzing commodity lines, total"
as presented in the tables. Commodity coverage varied
by kind of business and type of operation but for most
trades it ranged upward from 90 percent.
Company records vary in the detail in which sales
analyses are maintained and also as to grouping of lines.
Respondents who maintained only limited records and
those whose merchandise lines or departmental sales
classifications differed from classifications on the report
form were asked to make entries on the basis of best
possible approximations. There is some indication that
in such cases there was a tendency to overstate sales of
the commodity lines most commonly handled in the
trade and to understate the volume of business in sec-
ondary lines.
Presentation rules, chapters 10 through 13. — At the
United States level, commodity-line detail is presented
for a kind of business when 50 or more establishments
reported their sales by commodity line. At the geo-
graphic division level, commodity-line detail is presented
for a kind of business when 10 or more establishments
reported their sales by commodity lines, provided that
a total of at least 100 establishments in the same kind of
business, throughout the United States, reported their
sales by commodity lines.
Commodity-line detail is presented for a kind of busi-
ness only where more than 80 percent of total sales are
analyzed. Individual commodity-line data are pre-
sented when four or more establishments reported sales
of the item and where the item, dollarwise, amounted to
at least one-tenth of 1 percent of total sales analyzed.
Because of tabulating techniques used, there may be
small differences between the sum of geographic division
data for a particular commodity line when compared
with the data shown for that commodity line at the
United States level.
Commodity line number. — For convenience in locating
items in the tables, and for determining types of mer-
chandise sold by the various classes of wholesale estab-
lishments, each of the major commodity lines was
assigned a number (see Commodity Lines, p. 10.03) and
the number remains constant throughout the set of
tables. The numbers are arranged in numerical se-
quence, so far as they appear, under a kind of business in
. any table. Absence of a number under a kind of business
or geographic division generally indicates that the com-
modity line is not sold in significant amounts.
Column headings
Amount (column 1). — Entries in this column of the
table show the amount of reported sales of each of the
commodity lines. Where the commodity analysis or
"coverage" is incomplete, they may represent less than
the total amoimt of sales of the commodity line for the
kind of business. Coverage for the trade is indicated
by the relationship between "sales of establishments
analyzed" and "sales of all establishments."
Percent distribution (column 2). — Entries in this
column are established by relating reported sales of
principal or numbered commodity lines to total sales
analyzed for the trade. Percentages represent the im-
portance or significance of commodity lines to kinds of
business.
Percentages are shown for the major or numbered
commodity lines only, not for the detailed commodity
items. In relating sales as reported for detailed com-
modity lines to the total analyzed for the trade, considera-
tion should be given to any amounts that may appear
opposite "Not analyzed in detail." Such amounts (if
any) represent sales analyzed only to the major or
numbered commodity line level, not to the detailed
commodity lines under the numbered items.
Number (column 3). — Entries in this column represent
the number of wholesale establishments identified with
the kind of business, geographic division, and commodity
indicated in the stub. For each kind of business or
geographic division the first entry represents total num-
ber of establishments in the classification. The second
entry represents the total number of establishments in
the classification or area that reported the commodity-
line analysis. Other entries for the kind of business or
geographic division represent the number of establish-
ments that reported each specified commodity line.
Total sales (column 4).- — Entries in this column repre-
sent total sales of all commodities (including any retail
sales and service receipts) of the establishments which
reported sales of the specified commodity line.
Column 1 as percent of column 4 (column 5).— Entries
represent the relative importance of specified commodity
lines to total sales of establishments reporting that they
handled that line and are derived by dividing entries in
column 1 by entries in column 4, line by line.
Sales Analyses — Petroleum Bulk Stations, Terminals
A special questionnaire, Form BC-32, was used in
enumerating petroleum bulk stations and terminals in
connection with the 1948 Census of Business. This
form (see reproduction in appendix G) provided for
reporting, among other things, bulk storage capacity for
specified petroleum products as of December 31, 1948 —
inquiry 4 (b); and "Analysis of sales by commodity or
merchandise lines" — inquiry 8. Gallonage sales of
specified bulk petroleum products were called for in
inquiry 8 as well as an analysis of dollar volume of sales
by commodity lines.
Dollar sales as measured in this inquiry exclude the
total amount of gasoline, oil, and other sales or turnover
taxes (local. State, and Federal) paid du-ectly by the re-
porting estabUsbment to any governmental taxing
agency.

WHOLESALE TRADE
Results of these inquiries are presented in chapter 14,
which includes tables 14A through 14G. These tables
were published in a separate bulletin entitled "Petroleum
Bulk Stations and Terminals," Bulletin No. 2-W-14. A
table of contents to the various tables in chapter 14 is
given on page 14.01 :
Table 14A presents basic data on number of bulk stations and
terminals, their sales, expenses, payroll, personnel, and stocks,
by geographic divisions and State.s. This information also
appears by States in table 101, Volume V, Census of Business:
1948.
Table 14B is similar to tables 10, 11, 12, and 13 in that it pre-
sents an analysis of dollar sales by commodity lines. Explana-
tions given in connection with those tables apply here for the
most part. Data are shown in table 14B for the United States as
a whole and for Census geographic divisions.
Tables 14C, 14D, and 14E measure sales, in gallons, of gasoline;
kerosene, range oil, No. 1 fuel oil; light heating oils (Nos. 2-4);
and light Diesel type fuel oil. Table 14C is a summary for the
United States. Table 14D presents data for each State by
counties. Table 14E presents information separately for dis-
tributing terminals and distiict offices. Data for distributing
terminals are also included in tables 14C and 14D.
Table 14F measures storage capacity assigned, as of December
31, 1948, to: gasoline, kerosene, distillate fuel oils, and Diesel fuel
oils and residual fuel oils. Data are presented at the geographic
division and State levels. This is the first Census of Business in
which information has been developed on storage capacity for
bulk petroleum products. Information from this table is sum-
marized in table Q, below.
Table 14G shows, for geographic divisions and States, the
number of establishments and dollar sales (excluding taxes) for
each of the following types of petroleum outlets.
Petroleum Bulk Stations:
Independent Stations.
Comrai.ssion Stations.
Salary Stations.
Cooperative Stations.
Distributing Terminals.
Descriptions of the above classifications are given in appendix F.
Limitations of data in chapter 14. — Business establish-
ments are classified, for census purposes, according to
theii- primary operation during the census year. As
chapter 14 deals primarily with the distribution of bulk
petroleum products, data for establishments primarily
engaged in selling packaged petroleum products are not
included here; but they are included in other tables of
this volume, classified according to their type of oper-
ation and kind of business. Firms handling bulk petro-
leum products as secondary lines are not included in
these tables. Stations conducting a combined wholesale-
retail business are classified as wholesale or retail accord-
ing to their major activity diu-ing the census year.
Data for all tables except 14B are exclusive of oper-
ations of liquefied petroleum gas stations and distributing
terminals. Sales made directly from petroleum refiners
to retailers or to industrial and other users are not
included. Transfers from bulk stations to gasoline
service stations operated by the same company as the
bulk plant, however, are included in the data. There is
duplication in the data reported in these tables to the
extent that refiner marketers sell from district offices,
terminals, or from larger bulk stations to "jobbers" who
in turn operate bulk stations.
Not all bulk stations and distributing terminals
reported the analysis provided for in tables 14B, 14C,
14D, and 14E. A measure of "coverage" is shown in
each table. Allowance should be made for the extent
to which the analysis is incomplete as indicated by the
relationship between "sales of establishments analyzed"
and "sales of all establishments," or by percentage
figures.
Gallonage sales. — Excluding the 324 bulk stations
primarily engaged in selling liquefied petroleum gas,
there were 29,127 petroleum bulk stations and terminals
in the United States in 1948 with sales (excluding taxes)
for the census year amoimting to $8.9 billion. Of this
number, 28,394, with sales totaling $6.7 billion, were
classified as bulk stations, and 733, with sales of $2.2
billion, as distributing terminals. Data for the 29,127
establishments are summarized in table P, below.
Bulk stations and terminals, accounting for 92.8 per-
cent of all dollar sales, reported gasoline sales totaling
32.3 billion gallons; and fuel, heating, and Diesel oils
totaling 15.7 billion gallons. Assuming that the oper-

ations of those not reporting gallons separately paralleled

the above gallonage figiu-es should be increased by about
8 percent.
Storage capacity. — Storage capacity of the 29,127
petroleum bulk stations and terminals amounted to 7.7
billion gallons at the end of 1948; of which 3.7 billion
was allocated to gasoline, 1.1 billion to kerosene, 1.9
billion to distillate fuel oils, and 1.1 billion to Diesel fuel
oils and residual fuels.
Of the 7.7 billion gallons total capacity, 6.0 billion was
reported by refiner-marketer stations and terminals, and
1.7 billion by other stations and terminals — principally
jobbers.

LIST OF CORRECTIONS
This volume has been prepared primarily by assem-
bling and binding the statistical portions of previously
issued Subject Bulletins together with additional chap-
ters covering other phases of Wholesale Trade which
were not issued in bulletin form. This publication plan
was adopted to conserve public funds and expedite the
issuance of the volume. It was found desirable to
reprint completely the following Subject Bulletins for
["Line" and "Column" indicate the position of the item on a page. Thus "line 10" means the tenth line from the top of the table stub, counting every line in which printing appears
regardless of presence of entries in field. "Column 5" means fifth column from the left, not counting the stub column]
volume publication: United States Summary; Sales
Size and Operating Expenses; Sales by Class of Customer;
Commodity Line Sales ; and Petroleum Bulk Stations and
Terminals. In some instances, therefore, data will differ
from that shown in the bulletins as originally issued.
The corrections appearing below represent revisions
made after volume copy was returned from the printer.

APPENDIX B
TYPE-OF-OPERATION DESCRIPTIONS
lr>M
Each wholesale establishment is classified, for Census
purposes, on two bases, first, by type of operation — as
merchant wholesaler, manufacturers' sales branch or office,
petroleum bulk station, agent or broker, assembler — on the
basis of the character of the business or the nature of
functions performed; and second, by kind of business or
trade — as drugs, dry goods, hardware, groceries, construc-
tion materials, etc., primarily on the basis of commodity
lines sold. Establishments whose operations overlap types
of operation or kinds of business are classified according
to their major activity during the census year and all of
the business is included in the one classification.
Wholesale establishments are divided into five major
type-of-operation classifications, each of which is fur-
ther subdivided with the result that data are presented
for a total of 36 different types of operation.
Type-of-operation groups and their subdivisions are out-
lined below:
I. Merchant wholesalers
Service wholesalers (domestic market)
Wholesale merchants, jobbers
Converters (textile)
Industrial distributors
Service wholesalers (foreign trade merchants)
Exporters
Importers
Limited-function wholesalers
Cash-carry wholesalers
Drop or direct-mill shippers
Wagon, truck distributors
Retailer-cooperative warehouses
II. Manufacturers' sales branches, sales offices
Sales branches (with stocks)
Sales offices (without stocks)
III. Petroleum bulk stations, terminals
Bulk stations
Independent bulk stations
Commission stations
Salary stations
Cooperative bullc stations
Distributing terminals
IV. Agents, brokers
Auction companies
Brokers (merchandise):

Types of Operation Described
I. Merchant wholesalers
This major group, which in the 1939 Business Census wa,
known as "Service and limited-function wholesalers," con-
sists of establishments usually known as wholesalers, dis-
tributors, jobbers, supply houses, etc. They are primari-
ly engaged in buying, taking title to, and where customary,
physically storing and handling goods, and selling the
goods at wholesale principally to retailers, to industrial
and commercial users, and to other wholesalers. Estab-
lishments in this group may perform operations on the goods
incidental to the wholesale trading and delivery, such as
installing machinery, equipment, and fixtures. Separately
incorporated sales subsidiaries of manufacturing and mining
companies, buying and selling merchandise on their own ac-
count, are included in this major group.
Service wholesalers (domestic market):
Wholesale merchants, jobbers. — Merchant wholesalers
primarily engaged in buying and selling in the domestic
marketj who perform all of the principal wholesale func-
tions. They sell goods principally to retailers or to in-
dustrial, commercial^ or professional users; buy and sell
merchandise on their own account: carry stocks; assemble
in large lots and redistribute in smaller quantities usu-
ally through salesmen; extend credit to customers; make
deliveries; smd render advice to the trade.
Converters (textile). — Included here are those special
types of merchants in the textile trade that purchase tex-
tiles in the gray from mills or manufacturers, have them
dyed and finished, usually on a contract or commission
basis, and sell to the cutting-up trade, garment makers,
wholesalers, or large-scale retailers. Plants engaged in
finishing, dyeing, printing, etc., are included in the
Census of Manufactures.
Industrial distributors. — Included here are establish-
ments dealing in a fairly complete line of materials,
equipment, and supplies for mines, factories, oil wells,
public utilities, or similar industries, and selling pri-
marily to industrial users. Establishments primarily en-
gaged in selling machinery are included under "Wholesale
merchants. "
Service wholesalers (foreign trade merchants):
Exporters. — Merchant wholesalers that are primarily
engaged in selling in the foreign rather than the domestic
market.
Importers. — Merchant wholesalers whose chief distinc-
tion lies in the source of their purchases which is prima-
rily foreign.
Limited function wholesalers:
Cash-carry wholesalers. — Establishments that generally
carry only a limited line of products, mostly staples and
fast moving items, and usually do not extend credit to
their customers nor make deliveries. Retailer- cooperative
warehouses and voluntary group grocery wholesalers selling
on a cash-and-carry basis are included in their respective
classifications and not here. Cash-and-carry depots owned
by service wholesalers and operated as separate establish-
ments are included here.
Drop or direct-mill shippers. — Merchants primarily en-
gaged in filling orders by having shipment made directly
from the manufacturer or other source of supply to the
drop-shippers' customer. As drop shippers they do not per-
form warehouse, storage, or delivery functions.
Wagon, truck distributors. — Merchant wholesalers that
are distinguished by the following characteristics: (1)
They combine the functions of salesmen with those of de-
livejTymen. Usually no separate sales force is employed,
the work of selling and delivering being carried out by
salesmen-drivers. (2) They normally carry a limited as-
sortment of merchandise consisting of nationally advertised
fast moving items of a perishable or semiperishable nature.
(3) Their practice is to sell for cash and in the original
package .
It should be noted that only those wagon distributors
with recognizable places of business, or who have paid em-
ployees, are included in the census.
15.04
APPENDIXES
Retailer-cooperative warehouses. — Establishments ovmed
and operated cooperatively by groups of independent re-
tailers buying collectively. The establishment functions
as a separate wholesale house selling chiefly to members.
Informal buying groups or clubs without warehousing facil-
ities and having no paid employees were not enumerated in
the census. Cooperative buying organizations with estab-
lished places of business and purchasing for others on a
commission basis are classified as "Cooperative buying
agencies" and are included under "Agents and brokers."
II. Manufacturers'
sales branches, offices
Establishments maintained apart frcm manufacturing plants
by manufacturing and mining companies primarily for sell-
ing or marketing their products at wholesale. Branch
stores selling to household consumers or individual users
are classified in Retail Trade. Sales branches or offices
located at manufacturing plants or at general administra-
tive offices of manufacturers are excluded unless operated
as separate and distinct businesses. Separately incorpo-
rated subsidiaries of manufacturing and mining companies
identified with parent company and selling its products
only are included, whereas these establishments are clas-
sified as "Merchant wholesalers" in the Standard Industri-
al Classification Manual.
Manufacturers' sales branches (with stocks). — Are dis-
tinguished from sales offices by the fact that the former
maintain facilities for the physical storage, handling, and
delivering of at least a portion of the merchandise sold.
Sales branches frequently install machinery, equipment,
and apparatus sold by them and sometimes are engaged in
leasing or renting machinery or equipment on a royalty
basis.
Manufacturers' sales offices (without stocks). — Are
distinguished from manufacturers ' sales branches by the
fact that sales offices do not maintain facilities for the
physical storage, handling, and delivery of merchandise.
III. Petroleum bulk stations, terminals
Distinguished primarily by their physical properties for
transferring, storing, and distributing gasoline, fuel oil,
and other bulk petroleum products at wholesale. Distributors
selling packaged, rather than bulk, petroleum goods and
those without stationary storage facilities who sell in
bulk from tank trucks are classified as merchant whole-
salers, not as bulk stations.
In addition to types of operation mentioned below, petro-
leum bulk stations and terminals are also classified (in
tables lAC and l-^F) on the basis of ownership as "Refiner-
marketer" and "Other."
Bulk stations. — Maintain storage facilities on railroad
or other transportation lines and sell, usually from trucks,
to gasoline service stations and other retailers; to com-
mercial and industrial users; and, in agricultural areas,
to farmers. As a rule they do not have drive-in facilities
for the accommodation of automobiles. Stations set up in
a manner to service automobiles are classified in Retail
Trade. Stations conducting both wholesale and retail busi-
nesses are classified according to their major activity
during the Census year.
Bulk stations are classified on the basis of type or
character of operation as follows:
Independent bulk stations — Owned and operated inde-
pendent of any other bulk station. This classification
includes any single-unit bulk stations operated under the
same ownership with filling stations but not under the
same ownership with other bulk stations.
Commission stations — Owned by multiunit concerns (con-
cerns operating more than one bulk station) but whose
operators have a proprietary interest in the business.
Operators of these stations are as a rule paid commissions
which include unspecified amounts to cover overhead, de-
livery costs^ and pay roll. Personnel are considered as
employees of the operator, rather than of the owner of the
bulk plant.
Salary stations — Owned and operated by multiunit
concerns, concerns operating more than one bulk plant.
Personnel of salary stations are generally considered as
employees of companies owning the plants.
Cooperative bulk stations — Owned and operated by
cooperative associations. Many sell primarily to farmers
via tank trucks.
Distributing terminals. — Places of business located at
water, pipe line, or other transportation terminal points
with special equipment for the transfer of petroleum prod-
ucts from one type of transportation to another. Although
many terminals are similar in their operation to bulk
plants, they are generally distinguished by their location,
their larger operations, the character of their facilities,
and in the class of customers served. Terminals are largely
engaged in selling "to bulk stations and industrial accounts,
although some sales are made to retailers. Bulk stations
on the other hand are primarily engaged in selling to re-
tailers and commercial accounts.
Only those terminals are included in Wholesale Trade
that make a practice of selling petroleum products to other
concerns. Facilities used solely in making intra-company
transfers are not considered as separate establishments
for the purpose of the Census of Business.
rv. Agents and brokers
Establishments, the operators of which are in business
for themselves, negotiating for others sales or purchases
of merchandise in domestic or foreign trade, but who do
not, as a rule, take title to the merchandise. They may
represent a single client or a group of clients, either
buyers or sellers but not both in the same transaction,
and compensation is usually in the form of commissions or
brokerage. Sales as shown for agents and brokers repre-
sent the sales (or purchase) value of the goods in the
transactions negotiated and include some approximation as
many of them do not maintain records of the dollar sales.
In such cases carefully prepared estimates are included.
In the agents and brokers field it is often difficult to
distinguish the various detailed types of operation. This
is particularly true of brokers, commission merchants,
manufacturers' agents, and selling agents.
Auction companies. — Concerns that sell by the auction
method at wholesale. Sales are conducted under definite
rules and are usually made to the highest or best bidder.
These establishments provide places for public inspection
and sale of merchandise consigned to them. Auction sell-
ing is most common in the marketing of leaf tobacco, live-
stock, fruits and vegetables, and other farm products.
Auctioneers and so-called "community sales" are not includ-
ed in Wholesale Trade.
Brokers (merchandise). — Negotiate transactions between
buyers and sellers without having direct physical control
of the goods and without taking title or assuming the risk
of price fluctuations. They act as agents for their prin-
cipals,who usually are producers or manufacturers. Although
some brokers represent wholesalers or retailers, this latter
is usually as a p\irchasing function. Their powers as to
prices and terms of sale are usually limited by their prin-
cipals.
Brokers often are not bound to any set of clients.
Their relations with any one client may not be continuous.
In addition to negotiating purchases or sales, their chief
function consists of advising their clients as to market
conditions. Normally, brokers do not handle the invoices.
In some trades it is difficult to distinguish brokers
from selling agents and manufacturers' agents, the terms
frequently being used to describe similar methods of opera-
tion. This is particularly true in the food industry where
brokers almost exclusively represent producers (sellers).
Brokers primarily engaged in representing buyers are dis-
tinguished in Census statistics from those representing
sellers.
APPENDIXES
15.05
Conunission merchants. — Handle commodities or merchan-
dise consigned to them for sale on a commission basis. As
commission merchants they do not take title to the goods
they sell for their clients. They have considerable lat-
itude in regard to price and terms of sale. When the goods
require it, they maintain places of business suitable for
the handling, conditioning, warehousing, and selling of
merchandise. Only commission merchants selling principally
on a consignment basis are included here, whereas those
dealing principally on their own account but doing some
consignment business are classified as merchant wholesalers.
This classification also includes factors who specialize
in the raw cotton trade. Factors are located, as a rule,
in central markets and receive the cotton on consignment
from the producing areas. Their functions consist of ad-
vancing funds to shippers, who may be growers; warehousing
and storing the goods; grading; and selling.
Export agents. — Includes commission houses, and agents
and brokers who specialize in the purchase of goods for,
or sale of goods to, foreign buyers.
Import agents. — Includes commission merchants, manufac-
turers' agents, and selling agents who represent foreign
sellers in the domestic market. In addition to negotiating
sales, they usually attend to customs formalities.
Manufacturers ' agents . — Customarily sell part of the
output of certain manufacturers, usually two or more whose
goods are noncompeting, on an extended contractual basis.
They usually are limited with respect to sales territory,
prices, and terms of sale. Their principal duty is sell-
ing, although some of them warehouse goods for their prin-
cipals.
A segregation is made, for Census purposes, between those
manufacturers' agents who own stocks and those who do not.
Selling agents. — Are independent operators whose prin-
cipal function is to sell the entire output of a given line
of goods for one or more manufacturers with whom they main-
tain continuous contractual relationships. Selling agents
differ from manufacturers ' agents in the following re-
spects: (l) They normally sell all of the output of one
or more products of the clients they serve; (2) they are
less limited in sales territory; (3) they have considerable
latitude with regard to prices, terms of sale, etc., where-
as the authority of the manufacturers' agent is limited;
and, (<+) they frequently finance their clients and offer
assistance in connection with the advertising and other
sales-promotion activities.
Purchasing agents, resident buyers. — Purchasing agents,
sometimes referred to as syndicate buyers, are independent
operators buying merchandise for their clients. They are
to be distinguished from manufacturers' purchasing agents
who are not ii business for themselves but work for a single
employer. Frequently they combine orders from a number of
relatively small manufacturers, wholesalers or retailers,
and buy on a larger scale than would be possible for the
individual concerns whom they represent.
Resident buyers are purchasing agents operating pri-
marily in the dry goods trade. They are located in central
markets and are in close contact with manufacturers in these
markets and with wholesalers and retailers at outlying
points. Normally they represent the interests of buyers
although they may also occasionally represent sellers.
Purchasing agents ani resident buyers maintain more contin-
uous relationship with clients than is the case with buying
brokers.
Cooperative buying agencies. — Buying agencies main-
tained cooperatively by a group of purchasers with common
interests.
Cooperative sales agencies. — Include both the sales
agencies and the central marketing associations set up by
cooperatives to facilitate the sale of the products of the
members.
V. Assemblers (mainly farm products)
Consists of establishments primarily engaged in purchas-
ing and assembling farm products and sea foods in local
growers' markets, at local producing points, or in the
cities of producing regions. They assemble farm products,
produced on a relatively small scale, in lots for shipment
to other wholesale buyers. In addition to buying and
whole~sale distribution of farm products, they frequently
grade, pack, and store the commodities handled.
Assemblers (dealing on own account). — ^Are distinguished
by the fact that they are independent buyers who deal on
their own account. Some maintain offices at a central
point and have a group, line, or chain of buying stations.
Quantities of agricultural commodities may be purchased
locally by retail, service, or other business or industrial
establishments and sold or used for productive purposes.
Such establishments are not included here since classifi-
cation for Census purposes is based on primary activities
during the Census year.
Commission buyers. — Assemblers that are distinguished
by the fact that they are engaged as agents in the buying
of agricultural products, rather than dealing on their own
account.
Cooperative marketing associations. — Are cooperative
associations formed largely by farmers primarily for the
purpose of disposing of their products. They frequently
also buy for their members various supplies such as feed,
seed, fertilizer, and fuel.
The term "cooperative marketing association" includes
local cooperatives — both those disposing of their products
direct and those marketing through a central association
or agency. Cooperative cream stations and cooperative
elevators are covered under their respective designations
and not here. Farmers' cooperatives engaged primarily
in buying supplies for members are included in Retail
Trade.
Cream stations. — Include buying stations, located in
milk producing regions, that buy fluid cream from farmers.
They may be maintained by creamery companies, by coopera-
tive associations, or by independent firms. Cream stations
operated in conjunction with, and secondary to, other busi-
nesses such as retail stores, service establishments,
elevators, etc., are not included here.
Country grain elevators. — Include independent, line,
and cooperative concerns which purchase and handle grain
and have properties commonly referred to as "elevators."
Business concerns in producing areas, buying and selling
grain, who do not have "elevators" are included under
"assemblers (dealing on own account)" or "commission
buyers," depending on how they operate. Terminal ele-
vators in central markets engaged primarily in selling
grain are considered, for Census purposes, as merchant
wholesalers.
Independent elevators — Are, for Census iJurposes,
limited to a single elevator under one ownership.
Line elevators — Are two or more elevators (other than
cooperatives) under one ownership. Two or more elevators
operated by a cooperative association are included under
cooperative elevators. Many line elevators are owned by
milling concerns which buy grain for their own use; or by
merchandising concerns which purchase the grain through
the elevators but which sell only from central points. For
elevators performing the buying but not the selling func-
tion, "sales," as reported to the Census, represent the
value of the grain purchased.
Cooperative elevators — Are owned and operated co-
operatively by farmers. No distinction is made between
single and multiple elevators operated by cooperative
associations.
Packers and shippers. — Production-point assemblers,
packing, shipping and selling fruits, vegetables, or sea
foods. Operators who do some growing but who perform
primarily a commercial business for other producers are
included. Excluded from the Census of Business are packing
houses operated as integral parts of farms, and contract
packers performing no selling functions. Commercial and
cooperative houses packing and shipping sea foods are in-
cluded here, but those maintained by fishermen for packing
and marketing their own catch are excluded.

APPENDIXES
APPENDIX C
KIND-OF-BUSINESS DESCRIPTIONS
Each wholesale establishment was assigned a kind-of-
business classification. In general, the kind-of -business
classification assigned was based on the analysis which
each establishment reported of its total sales classified
into individual commodity lines. As lines handled by a
single wholesale establishment frequently are quite broad
and may overlap classifications — e.g., tobacco and con-
fectionery, groceries and wines and liquors, hardware and
automotive supplies — kind-of -business classification is
determined by the predominant activity as shown by the
commodity line sales analysis, and all of the business of
the establishment is included in the one classification.
For some kinds of business, such as mill supply, indus-
trial supply, heating and plumbing, and school supply busi-
nesses, usual trade designations, rather than predominant
merchandise lines, determine classification.
The kind-of-business classification of each warehouse,
administrative office, and auxiliary unit is based on the
classification of the wholesale establishments in the
parent organization which it services or to which it is
auxiliary.
Wholesale establishments are classified into 14-5 kinds
of business. These 14-5 detailed classifications are
grouped into 53 trade classifications which are further
arranged according to 17 major groups.

sale establishments (except cash-and-carry depots and in-
stitutional wholesalers) not sponsoring or affiliated with

City size
Data are presented in table 8A by "City-Size," based on
advance 1950 estimates of population of the places in
which the establishments are located. Data are presented
for nine groups, as follows:
Cities of 500,000 inhabitants or more
Cities of 250,000 to 499,999 inhabitants
Cities of 100,000 to 2<i9,999 inhabitants
Cities of 50,000 to 99,999 inhabitants
Cities of 25,000 to 49,999 inhabitants
Cities of 10,000 to 24,999 inhabitants
Cities of 5,000 to 9,999 inhabitants
Cities of 2,500 to 4,999 inhabitants
Remainder of the United States
Commissions received
Represents earnings received by the reporting establish-
ment during the year 1948 from sales made on an agency
basis for the account of others. It does not include prof-
its, if any, on sales for the account of the reporting es-
tablishment.
Commodity line
The term "commodity line," as used in this report, rep-
resents a group of related commodity items. Sometimes the
group of items is broad enough to be referred to as a mer-
chandise line. The groupings were established, for Census
purposes, in consultation with representatives of sup-
pliers of the information, and with users of census data.
Consideration was given to the more common groupings of
lines maintained by business establishments for sales record
purposes as well as to needs for analytical information.
All commodity or merchandise items were grouped, for
Census purposes, into 126 principal ccmmodity lines. Fifty-
eight of the principal or major lines were further subdi-
vided into 274 detailed lines, giving a total of 400 clas-
sifications. It should be noted that retail sales of
wholesale establishments are not separately shown, but are
Included along with wholesale sales in the commodity clas-
sifications. "Receipts from services and sources other
than sale of merchandise" was considered as a ccamnodity
line (No. 126) , hence the sum of all commodity-line sales
items is equivalent to total sales.
Credit terms
Credit sales. — Include all sales during the year except
those strictly on a cash or c.o.d. basis.
Establishments doing credit business. — Included under
this heading are all merchant wholesalers and manufac-
turers' sales branches, except those indicating that all
of their business was strictly on a cash or c.o.d. basis.
Credit sales as percent of all sales. — Includes all
sales during the year 1948, except those strictly on a
cash or c.o.d. basis, expressed as a percent of total sales
of establishments reporting credit sales.
End-of-year accounts and notes receivable as percent of-
credit sales. — Represents the amount of outstanding ac-
counts and notes receivable as of the end of the year 194S
expressed as a percent of credit sales. Includes only the
accounts and notes receivable resulting from the sale of
merchandise and held by the reporting establishments. Notes
and accounts sold or discounted to banks, finance compa-
nies, or factors are not included even though sold "with
recourse." These figures are based on data for establish-
ments reporting credit sales, end-of-year receivables, and
number of credit accounts.
Percent change in accounts and notes receivable, begin-
ning to end of year 194g. — Represents the change in amount
of accounts and notes receivable from the beginning to end
of year 1948, expressed as percent of accounts and notes
981322 0-52-2
receivable at the beginning of the year. These figures
are based on establishments reporting both beginning and
end-of-year receivables.
Bad debt losses ag percent of credit sales. — Represents
the amount of receivables written off during the Census
year, expressed as percent of credit sales. Bad debt
losses includes all receivables written off during 1948 as
uncollectible, even though the credit may have been ex-
tended on sales made in 1947 or earlier. These figures are
based on data for establishments reporting credit sales,
end-of-year receivables, and number of credit accounts.
Credit accounts per establishment. — Represents average
number of credit accounts as of December 31, 1948, per
establishment doing credit business. These figures are
derived by dividing the number of credit accounts by the
number of establishments doing credit business.
Credit sales per account. — Represents average annual
credit sales per credit account. Derived by dividing the
total amount of credit sales for the year by the number of
credit accounts.
Employment and pay roll terms
Pay roll. — Pay roll includes all compensation (salaries,
wages, commissions, and bonuses) paid during the specified
period to all employees. For corporations, it includes
amounts paid to officers and executives; it does not in-
clude compensation for proprietors or firm members of un-
incorporated businesses. Pay roll is reported before de-
ductions for Social Security, income tax withholding,
insurance, dues, etc.
Pay roll — entire year — All amounts paid during the cen-
sus year to employees are included in this item.
Pay roll — specified workweeks — All amounts paid to
employees on pay rolls for the workweek ending nearest
March 15, July 15, and November 15 are included in these
items. Provision was made for reporting pay roll adjusted
to the workweek where the pay period was on other than a
workweek basis, and also for reporting on a workweek basis
commission and tonus payments. However, for a number of
establishments annual pay roll figures included amounts
not allocated to weekly pay rolls.
Paid employees. — Paid employees consist of the number of
employees including salaried officers and executives of
corporations who were on the pay roll for the specified
workweeks .
Employee size. — In tables 6A and 6B wholesale establish-
ments are classified by employee-size groups, based on the
total number of paid employees for the workweek ended
nearest November 15, 1948. Data are presented for eleven
employee-size groups, as follows:
100 or more employees 6 or 7 enqjloyees
50 to 99 employees 4 or 5 employees
20 to 49 employees 3 employees
10 to 19 employees 2 employees
8 or 9 employees 1 employee
No paid employees
Active proprietors of unincorporated businesses. — ^Active
proprietors include owners or partners of unincorporated
businesses vho devoted the major portion of their time to
the operation of the business during November 1948.
E s tabl i shmen ts
Establishments consist of all lAolesale places of busi-
ness as well as administrative offices, central warehouses,
and other units of multiunit organizations which service,
or are auxiliary to, the wholesale establishments of the
organization. The count represents the number of estab-
lishments in business at the end of 1948.
Administrative offices and auxiliary units. — These in-
clude locations of a multiunit organization which service,
or are auxiliary to, the wholesale establishments within
15.18
APPENDIXES
the organization. They are not primarily engaged in sell-
ing merchandise. Included are such locations as district
offices, purchasing offices, central warehouses, garages,
etc., primarily engaged in performing administrative or
other auxiliary functions. Chain-store warehouses and
central warehouses which service the retail establishments
of their own organization are classified in Retail Trade.
Wholesale establishments. — These af-e separate places of
business primarily engaged in selling, or acting as an
agent in selling merchandise to (or buying for) business
concerns, regardless of whether the latter purchased for
resale or for business use. The place of business may be
a warehouse from which sales are made at wholesale, a
sales or brokerage office, or part of an office that may
be shared with others. Each establishment of organizations
operating at more than one place of business is counted
separately.
Although the 194-8 Census of Business enumerated all
wholesale establishments regardless of size, tabulations
exclude data for those that operated during the entire
year 1948 but had sales of less than $5,000. In 1939 the
corresponding figure for exclusion from the tabulations
was $500.
Expense terms
Operating expenses. — Total operating expenses, sometimes
referred to as "overhead," includes all expenses incurred
during the census year by the reporting establishment. It
includes pay roll as well as other overhead expenses, but
not the cost of merchandise sold, nor does it include
withdrawals by owners of unincorporated businesses. For
agents, brokers, and commission petroleum bulk stations
the entries under the heading "operating expenses" repre-
sent the amount of brokerage or commissions received
rather than overhead expenses incurred.
For establishments with total sales of $200,000 or more,
operating expenses are further classified into administra-
tive, selling, delivery, warehouse, occupancy, and "other"
expenses.
Administrative expenses — Includes the general adminis-
trative expenses not chargeable directly to any one divi-
sion or function. Included here are executives' and
officers' salaries and expenses; office salaries; office
supplies and stationery; postage; telephone and telegraph;
professional services; depreciation on furniture and fix-
tures; dues, subscriptions, and donations; collection ex-
penses; etc.
Selling expenses — Includes direct expenses incurred in
selling merchandise; covers such items as salesmen's sal-
aries, commissions, and bonuses; salesmen's traveling
expenses; advertising; and insurance and depreciation on
alesmen's automobiles. Delivery expenses (as defined
below) are shown separately.
Shipping, delivery expenses — Includes costs incurred in
transferring the merchandise from the warehouse or other
place of storage to the customer; covers items such as
deliverymen's salaries and wages, out-freight, express,
parcel post, contract delivery, trucking, depreciation on
trucks, etc.
Warehouse expenses — The cost cf operating the warehouse
or stock roan. Covers such items as salaries and wages of
warehouse employees, boxing and packing costs, etc.
Occupancy expenses — Includes all expenses arising from
the use and maintenance of the premises and the buildings,
fixtures and equipment; covers maintenance labor, heat,
light, power and water. Where the premises are not owned,
rent is included. For firms owning the premises it covers
such items as building repairs and supplies, insurance and
taxes on building, and depreciation on buildings. Because
a number of firms experienced difficulty in differentiat-
ing between "warehouse" and "occupancy" expenses, data for
these two items should be used with care.
Other expenses — Included here are those operating ex-
penses not classified above, such as interest on bank
loans, losses from bad debts, etc.
Expense to sales ratios. — Operating expenses (including
ly roll) expressed as a percent of sales.
pay
Firm size
Data are presented in table 8B by "Firm Size," based on
the number of wholesale establishments, not counting ad-
ministrative offices and auxiliary units, under a single
ownership. Ownerships are grouped into the following nine
size classifications:
1 wholesale establishment only
2 wholesale establishments
3 to 5 wholesale establishments
6 to 9 wholesale establishments
10 to 14 wholesale establishments
15 to 24 wholesale establishments
25 to 49 wholesale establishments
50 to 99 wholesale establishments
100 or more wholesale establishments
Legal form of organization
In tables 5A and 5B wholesale establishments are classi-
fied into the following legal forms of organization:
Individual proprietorships. — Unincorporated businesses
owned by one individual or person who may or may not ac-
tively participate in its operations.
Partnerships. — Unincorporated businesses owned by two or
more persons, having a financial interest in and a respon-
sibility for the business. Each partner may or may not
actively participate in the operation of the business.
Corporations. — Businesses owned by legally incorporated
organizations or companies. Cooperative associations in-
corporated under either regular corporation laws or under
the special association laws are included in this legal
form.
Other legal forms. — Establishments having ownerships
under legal forms not defined above. Included here are
all establishments owned or operated by cooperative asso-
ciations not incorporated under the regular corporation
laws or under special cooperative association laws, and
other miscellaneous ownership types such as receiverships,
estates, etc.
Period established or acquired
Each respondent was requested to report the date the
1948 owner acquired or started the business within the
city. The date reported reflected the last change in
ownership, if any, prior to December 31, 1948. Mere change
of name without a change of the actual owners was not con-
sidered a change of ownership. Neither was a change of
location of the establishment within the city considered a
new business if it continued at the new location under the
same ownership.
Table 8C presents data for wholesale establishments
classified by date of establishment or acquisition. Estab-
lishments are grouped for presentation purposes as follows:
Acquired or established:
1948 1930 to 1933
1946 or 1947 1920 to 1929
1942 to 1945 1900 to 1919
1938 to 1941 Prior to 1900
1934 to 1937 Year not reported
Sales terms
Sales, entire year. — Sales include receipts from mer-
chandise sold during 1948 together with any receipts from
repairs or other services to customers, after deducting
returns and allowances and trade discounts. Sales of mer-
chandise for others on a commission basis are included as
well as sales for the account of the reporting establish-
ment. Local and State sales taxes or Federal excise taxes
collected by the wholesale establishment directly from
customers and paid directly to local. State, or Federal
taxing agencies are included. Gasoline, liquor, tobacco,
and other excise taxes paid by the Hanuf acturer or supplier
APPENDIXES
15.19
and passed along to the wholesale establishment are also
included in the sales figures.
Sales figures, therefore, represent total sales and re-
ceipts of all establishments primarily engaged in whole-
sale trade. They do not include sales by manufacturing
plants, general administrative offices of manufacturers,
retailers, and other businesses whose primary activity is
other than wholesale trade.
Some establishments included in Wholesale Trade (such as
buying brokers, purchasing agents, syndicate buyers, coun-
try grain elevators, and cream stations) are engaged
chiefly in buying from the trade or public for clients or
for parent organizations, selling being incidental or non-
existent. These establishments reported purchases in lieu
of sales. Sales as shown for agents and brokers represent
the selling value of the goods in the transactions nego-
tiated.
Sales by class of customer:
Sales to retailers--Represents sales to all classes of
retailers including chains, mail order houses, department
stores, independent stores, restaurants, and other estab-
lishments included in Retail Trade.
Sales to industrial users — Represents sales to indus-
trial, commercial, professional, institutional, and other
similar end users. They represent goods bought for busi-
ness use such as machinery, equipment, supplies, raw mate-
rials, components, etc., rather than goods bought for re-
sale in the same form as purchased.
Sales to wholesale organizations — Represents the volume
of business done by one type of wholesale establishment
with another, thus providing a measure of the volume of
duplication in wholesale sales.
Sales to household consiimers — Included here are sales
to household consumers, individual users, and to farmers.
This inquiry measures the volume of retail sales by whole-
sale establishments.
Sales for export — Represents the domestic value of
goods exported by wholesale establishments, including
sales throxigh their agents in this country. Wholesale
organizations maintaining foreign branches were requested
to include here the value of goods shipped to such branches.
Sales size. — In tables 2A and 2B, service wholesalers
and manufacturers' sales branches (with stocks) are clas-
sified by size of establishment based upon 19A8 sales.
Establishments starting in business in 1948 are included
on the same basis as other establishments, even though
they may not have been in operation the full twelve months.
In table 2A, United States Summary, nine sales-size groups
were used as follows:
$5,000,000 and over
$2,000,000 to $4,999,999
$1,000,000 to $1,999,999
$500,000 to $999,999
Under $50,000
$300,000 to $499,999
$200,000 to $299,999
$100,000 to $199,999
$50,000 to $99,999
In table 2B, geographic division and standard metropoli-
tan area data are presented by five sales-size groups as
follows:
$5,000,000 and over $500,000 to $999,999
$1,000,000 to $4,999,999 $200,000 to $499,999
Under $200,000
In table 3C, credit data for merchant wholesalers are
analyzed by size of establishment, using four sales-size-
classifications as follows:
$1,000,000 and over $200,000 to $499,999
$500,000 to $999,999 Under $200,000
Stocks on hand
Stocks are defined as the inventory, at cost value, of
merchandise on hand for sale as of the end of 1948. Goods
owned and out-on-consignment are included but not the
value of merchandise of others held for sale on consign-
ment.
Storage capacity — petroleum bulk stations and terminals
Represents capacity in gallons of stationary facilities
for bulk storage of gasoline and distillate and residual
fuel oils. Includes all such capacity at bulk stations,
distributing terminals and relay (or lockup) points. Data
represent capacity assigned to each of the specified prod-
ucts as of December 31, 1948.
Truck terms
Trucks and truck-tractors. — Trucks are distinguished
from truck-tractors in that the pay-load is hauled on the
truck whereas, in the case of the truck-tractor, it is
towed in a semitrailer.
Trailers and semitrailers. — A semitrailer is distin-
guished from a trailer in that the former is a two-wheeled
vehicle which connects with a truck-tractor by means of a
fifth wheel arrangement which transmits a portion of the
weight on the towing vehicle. A trailer is a towed ve-
hicle which carries the entire load on its own axles.
Manufacturers' rated capacity. — This is the rating as-
signed by truck manufacturers. It should be noted that
there is no exact relationship between such rated capacity
and the actual load-carrying capacity. For example, triicks
rated 1-1/2 tons can and do frequently carry loads cf sever-
al tons. However, classification by manufacturers' rated
capacity was used in the 1948 Census of Business since it
was the only uniform basis for size indication available
at that time. In spite of its limitations in indicating
pay-load capacity, manufacturers' rated capacity does make
it possible to evaluate the usage of light trucks, medium
trucks, and heavy tracks in a given kind of business, and
also between different kinds of business.
