Sams, president of the company, said: "This represents the second largest increase registered by our company in the past nineteen months. November's 26.43 per cent increase being exceeded during that period by last August's gain of 28.07 per cent. This showing indicates to us that the buying power of the country has been little affected by the recent slump in the stock market. Early December reports are most favorable, and we confidently expect a Christmas business that will set a new high in volume for our company.''
