Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ...winter work from September to December. The two seasons, spring and fall, characterize the dressmaking trade. The working force is gradually taken on through March and reaches its maximum in April and May. During the five months, April to August, which mark the heights and depths of the dressmaking season, the maximum number employed during the year has been gathered into the folds of the trade and scattered again to the four winds. While there is a precipitous drop in the number employed in June, July, and August, an equally rapid rise occurs in September and October, when the workers are again assembled for the winter's work, and the season reaches its height in November. However, the decline in January and February is never so greai as in summer, as the majority of shops resort to various makeshifts to hold their best workers for the coming spring season. An intensive study of the pay rolls of 14 custom shops in Boston, chosen so as to include varied types, shows a striking similarity to the seasonal fluctuation reported by the United States census. This is plainly shown in the following table: Table 21.--AVERAGE NUMBER OF WORKERS EMPLOYED IN CUSTOM DRESSMAKING IX THE UNITED STATES IN 1900 AND IN 14 SHOPS IN BOSTON IN 1910,6 BY MONTHS. Calculated from United States Census, 1900. Manufactures, Vol. VIII, Pt. I, p. 54. (Men, women, and children combined.) & From pay rolls of 14 Boston shops, September, 1910, to September, 1911. c The average number employed each month is secured by adding the numbers employed each week during the month in each oi the shops, A. B, etc. (see Table 23), and dividing this total by the number of wee 'S worked that month for each individual shop; the resultant monthly averages in the 14 shops are added for the total average.
