The American Manufacturing Frontier, 1870-1940

Abstract: Difficult statistical problems notwithstanding, it is possible to trace the course in time and place of a gradual transition from agrarian to industrial pursuits. On occasion, this transition was slowed or reversed by cyclical influences, but the long-term trend of manufacturing concentration was away from the East. As the manufacturing frontier shifted, the service industries moved in and currently employ much of the capital and labor of the old industrial centers.
