Reader’s notes
p. 97. The italic "Percent" unit line is printed below the rule that closes the column headings and above the Total row, and it carries no stub label; it is transcribed as the first body row with an empty stub cell rather than as a third heading level. In the "Wholesale trade" row the 500-999 and 1,000 and over cells hold a parenthesised superscript footnote reference in place of a figure (footnote 2, "Less than 1 percent"); both are transcribed as "(2)". Every data row's seven percentages sum to exactly 100 (the Wholesale trade row sums to 100 across its five numeric cells, with the two "(2)" cells under 1 percent each), which corroborates the digit readings; no printed value appears to be a misprint. The stub labels for Manufacturing, Transportation equipment, Mining and Transportation are set flush left as section/group lines, while their component industries are indented; indentation is not preserved in the grid. "Other" (indented under Transportation equipment) is the printed label for the residual transportation-equipment class.
