To a large extent the industries in Group 20 are those which use as their materials the products of certain industries in other groups. A few industries are included, however, which use strictly raw materials, such as bone and shell for making buttons and fancy articles, broomcorn for brooms, and sand for foundry supplies. Group 20 includes also a class of industries whose manufacturing operations consist principally in processes or treatments which prepare commodities for the trade or the market but produce little change in their character. These industries include "Feathers, plumes, and artificial flowers"; "Furs, dressed and dyed"; Hair work"; and "Wool pulling." SUMMARY FOR GROUP 20.-MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIES: 1939 AND 1937 |
