For description of series, see pages 1146-49 of the November 1953 Federal Reserve Bulletin. A brochure containing back data tor the departmental series for the period 1940*1952 and summary tables for individual years after that period may be obtained from the Division of Administrative Services, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington 25, D. C. The back data include figures on departmental stocks but only through 1963, since such information was discontinued beginning in 1964. 2/ Data not available. NOTE:—Based on reports from a group of large department stores located in various cities throughout the country. In 1963, sales at these stores accounted for more than one third of estimated total department store sales. Not all stores report data for all of the departments shown; consequently, the sample for the individual departments is not so comprehensive as that for the total.
