J/The 1947-49 average of monthly sales for each department is used as the base in
computing indexes for that department. For description of series, see pages
1146-49 of the November 1953 Federal Reserve Bulletin. A brochure containing .
back data for 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 wad 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 1964 sales at these stores accounted for
about 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.
