AUSTRIAN'S DIGEST OF BUSINESS STATISTICS A Comprehensive, Concise and Practical Compilation Specially Prepared for the Use of Sales and Advertising Executives Based on the Findings of the Census of 1920 and on Data Derived from other Authoritative Sources, with Maps and Diagrams Published by JOSEPH E. AUSTRIAN NEW YORK Copyright, 1922, by JOSEPH E. AUSTRIAN PREFACE JOSEPH E. Austrian's Digest of Business Statistics" is primarily intended for the use of sales and advertising executives, although it will prove valuable to business executives generally. It embodies the result of thirty years of experience in commercial research while serving in various sales and advertising capacities in the service of large busi- ness institutions whose products were marketed in the United States and other parts of the world through the instrumentality of retailers, jobbers and other agencies of distribution. It discloses the latest authoritative data relative to the population, its distribution, composition and purchasing power. This data is concisely presented in a series of co-ordinate tables which contain the necessary material for the proper selection of markets and for the formulation of selling and advertising plans. Successful business executives know that to maintain the supremacy of their enterprises, they must be constantly alert to make their developed markets yield a larger volume of sales, and to seek out and develop new productive markets. Systematic, constant and intensive cultivation of all potential markets is the cost of sustained success. This Digest is not in- tended for any particular industry or business. The information it contains is vital and will give constructive aid to every business enterprise. It is frequently maintained that no two businesses are alike. Every business man natu- rally contends that his own business is unique. To a certain degree this is undoubtedly true. Businesses do differ more or less sharply by reason of the dissimilarity of the merchandise for which they seek their purchasers and in the scope of its appeal. Some products have universal appeal and are saleable in every community, while others are restricted to circumscribed communities. These and other fundamental differences of necessity cause variations in the practice employed in advertising and selling. It must be borne in mind however, that all businesses whatsoever their nature, are controlled by and must conform to the unwritten economic laws created by the population itself. A business is comparable to a ship at sea. Ships differ in their size, motive power, cargoes and routes, yet they are all obliged to go forward by combating the same wind and water. The most skillful navigators are those who know best how to select the safest routes. They must know the channels, shoals, currents, the vagaries of wind and wave. In similar fashion, all businesses are subject to the forces exerted by the population they endeavor to serve, and the most successful are those whose executives are best able to select the markets for which their merchandise is suitable and who sense the economic conditions they must there encounter. The most pronounced characteristic of business today is the constantly increasing ten- dency to function more scientifically. The loose-jointed unsystematic methods of former days can no longer prevail. Business is rapidly assuming the status of a profession. This fact is acknowledged by our great universities which in recent years have realized that they can no longer ignore in their teaching the application of scientific methods to modem business. These higher standards to which present-day business is constantly seeking to attain, have prompted the universities to establish courses of study calculated to train young men and women in the scientific conduct of business affairs. In these instruction courses great emphasis is laid on a knowledge of markets and their development. The mastery of this knowledge is predi- cated upon the study of the pertinent business statistics presented in this Digest. The tables which constitute this book are the result of exhaustive study of the subjects treated and supply the vital facts which have been derived from a great mass of statistical data. Every element which might tend to complicate or confuse the tables has been omitted; explanatory matter has been reduced to a minimum so that the tables themselves are as clear and as free from cross-references and annotations as possible. No attempt has been made iii] to deduce any general rules or principles from the statistics set forth. The reader, after a very brief study, will quickly recognize the many useful and significant facts they contain which he himself will readily derive. As every business has its own peculiar characteristics, so will each investigator approach the material presented herein with a view of securing the informa- tion suitable to the needs of his own particular marketing problems. All of the basic figures utilized relative to the population of the United States and its outlying possessions, were derived from the findings of the Census of 1920. The basic figures relative to Agriculture, Manufactures and other subjects covered by the Bureau of the Census are also employed. The data for some subjects not covered by the Bureau of the Census was secured from other government Departments and Bureaus. As far as possible and unless otherwise indicated, the data employed was derived from governmental sources, but in certain subjects where the basic data was not procurable from a governmental source it was secured from outside sources to which due credit is given in connection with the individual tables, and in these cases the sources selected are those generally accepted in business circles as authorita- tive. All references in the tables to the United States mean continental United States, i. e., the forty-eight States and the District of Columbia. Outlying possessions are not included unless specifically mentioned. The maps and diagrams (with one exception) were prepared by the Bureau of the Census. In the use of those tables which refer to population it is important to bear in mind the distinction between urban and rural population. The Bureau of the Census classifies as urban population that residing in cities and other incorporated places having 2,500 inhabitants or more, and in towns of that size in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. In most sections of the country all or practically all densely populated areas having 2,500 inhabit- ants or more are incorporated separately as municipalities, variously known as cities, towns, villages, boroughs, etc. In the three New England States just named, however, this is not the case. In Massachusetts and Rhode Island it is not the practice — as it is in practically all the other states — to incorporate, as separate municipalities, the relatively densely populated por- tions of "towns" (which are the primary divisions of the counties), and no town as a whole is incorporated as a municipality until it attains a population greatly in excess of 2,500. In New Hampshire a similar condition exists, although there are in the state two incorporated villages, each of which has fewer than 2,500 inhabitants. For this reason those towns having 2,500 or more inhabitants in the three states named are treated as urban, although portions of their areas are rural in character. The urban areas in the three states in question, as classi- fied by the census, thus contain a certain number of inhabitants who in other sections of the country would be segregated as rural. Nevertheless, in most of the Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island towns having 2,500 inhabitants or more by far the greater part of the population resides within the more densely settled areas, so that the proportion classed as urban, considering each state as a whole, is not greatly exaggerated by the practice adopted. Urban population being thus defined, the remainder of the country is classed as rural, consisting of all unincorporated territory and all incorporated places having fewer than 2,500 inhabitants, except in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, where it consists of all towns under 2,500. I now desire to thank those persons and agencies who have contributed valuable assistance to me by supplying the data necessary to compile this work. Mr. W. M. Steuart, Director of the Census, has at all times placed the facilities of the Bureau of the Census at my disposal and his interest, advice and co-operation during the preparation of this Digest is gratefully acknowledged.

The United States with its outlying possessions occupies approximately 6.7 per cent of the world's land area and embraces approximately 6.9 per cent of its population. This table gives separate figures for the 11 countries or empires each having a population, according to the latest census or estimate avail- able, in excess of 25,000,000. The areas, except for the United States, are taken from the Statesman's Year-Book for 1920. The population figure for the British Empire, Russia, France, Japan, Netherlands, Italy, and Poland were secured from the embassies or legations of those countries. The population shown for China is the usual estimate of 400,000,000, but other estimates range from 340,000,000 to 440,000,000. The figures for the remaining foreign countries were obtained from the Statesman's Year-Book for 1920. The figures for population do not in all cases relate to the year 1920, and in general those for both population and area must be regarded merely as estimates or approximations. — Compiled by the Bureau of the Census {1920).

By this treaty Panama granted to the United States "in perpetuity the use, occupation, and control of a zone of land and land und^ water" of the width of 10 miles for "the construction, maintenance, operation, aani- tation, and protection" of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Panama. The cities and harbors of Panama and Colon were expressly excluded from IJiis grant, but the United States was given authority to prescribe and enforce sanitary ordinances In these cities and under extraor^ dinary circumstanoeB to maintain public order there. The population of the Panama Canal Zone may be said to have been created or called into existence by the construction of the Panama Canal and the growth and decline of the population have been mainly determined by the labor requirements for that work. The popula- tion of the Canal Zone is stUl largely a transient one, fluctuating according to the amount of work involved in the maintenance and operation of the canal and in providing for the needs of canal and railroad employees. The total number of employees of the Panama Canal and Panama Railroad was 22,328 on January 7, 1920. Many of the employees reside in the cities of Panama and Colon, which are outside the Canal Zone and are not included in the census figures. ® A minus sign ( — ) denotes decrease. ® Comprises military.
