Fig. 63. Rank of States and Territories in Population at Different Census Years

from i860 to 1900

Each State is represented by a block bearing an identifying number. The change in rank from census to census is indicated by the connecting lines. Actual rank at any census can be seen by referring horizontally to the figures at the right or to the figures at the left.

A chart of this kind can be used for showing relative rank of salesmen or comparative sales of different branch sales-houses ■
