r—Revised
* In this week changes from the corresponding week a year ago reflect in part the
fact that this year Thanksgiving Day v;as on November 28 whereas last year it was
on November 22.
,
** Data not available .
# The large increases shown for this week reflect in part the fact that this year
Christmas fell on Wednesday and the week therefore included two days of heavy
pro-Christmas shopping as compared with one day last year when Christmas fell on
Tuesday. In the cities of Cleveland, St. Louis'and Denver stores"were cloccd on
Monday, December 24, 1945 in addition to Christmas Day.
jj Comparison of sales in Buffalo and Rochester in this v;eck affected by storms in
jr
the week ending December 22 last year.
