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 percent age changes from a year ago. .
