Industry Map of NYC

One hundred years ago today … The Merchants' Association of New York was making available this "Industrial Map of New York City," using census data gathered in 1919. 

The document shows the products of the 32,590 factories in NYC, the largest number of which were devoted to producing "women's wear."
