A better idea of the imports of vinyl resins prior to 1936 is obtained by an invoice analysis of imports through the Port of New York under paragraphs 2 and 11. Table [11] shows imports of vinyl acetate resins based on such an analysis for 1934 and 1935 and on official statistics for the years 1936 and 1937.

Similarly table [12] shows imports of Mowilith resins based upon import analysis for the period 1932-1935, and upon official statistics for 1936 and 1937.
