-r-.—Revised.
l / During M a r c h a n d A p r i l changes f r o m a year ago reflect in p a r t the fact that last
year Easter w a s on April 1 w h i l e this year it w a s on A p r i l 21. For this reason
it is estimated t h a t in comparison w i t h last year allowance should be m a d e .for
a decrease in sales of about • 7 per cent for the month--of M a r c h as a w h o l e and
for a corresponding increase for the .r.onth of April-as a w h o l e .
*
The increases shown for this .week reflect in part the.fact that last year m a n y
stores w e r e closed on .May $ , f o r V-E day celebrc^^§ A > ,p... . , 1VJ303J
