Notes: - Statistics of the construction, custom and repair industries have not been collected since 1921; the figures for these industries for 1917 to 1921 have consequently been deducted from the totals as previously published. The industries excluded comprise custom clothing, dyeing and laundry work, boot, jewelry, automobile and bicycle repairing, blacksmithing and custom and repair work by foundries. Statistics of the non-ferrous metal smelting industry are included in manufactures for the first time in 1925. - For preliminary figures for 1926, see p. 419.
