r—Revised .
1/ During "March and ApriO^ changes from a. year ago .reflect in part the fact that; l&st
. year Easter was on March 28 '/mile this year it was on 'April 17. For this "; '
. reason it is estimated that in comparison with last ye-ar allowance should be
.
made'- fpr a decrease in sale's of about 6 per cent for the month of March as a
'whole and for a corresponding increase for the month of- April as a whole.
