H.ll H.ll NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE Effective with the week ending January 10, 19533 department store sales figures for certain of the cities shown on the attached release relate to the Metropolitan Areas, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget in "Standard Metropolitan Area Definitions,11 rather than the corporate limits of the city. It is expected that data for additional cities will be placed on a Metropolitan Area basis in the near future.
