NOTE—Since sales rise sharply with the approach of Christmas, the fact that, due to this year -being a "leap"'year, the corresponding week last year was two days nearer Christmas becomes increasingly significant in comparing weekly data. Allowance should be made for this calendar irregularity in evaluating the weekly percentage changes from a year ago.
