Other firms declared that they had not
done enough to make "a report Three
firms, declared that they had done very
well, one saying that he had done better

injured sales mainly in outlying districts,
a., the people could not reach the property
ensily and for the reason also that the
popular mind was distracted from bust
ness during part of the time
