A. AND P. SALES
ARE BIGGEST IN
HISTORY
Tonnage Moved, Dollar Value,
Net Profits, Cash Assets
All Combine to Set Mark

The Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company, operating many
stores in Washington. reports for
the IL months ended February 18,
1881, the greatest tonnage and
dollar sales, biggest net profits and
the strongest cash position in its
history
Inventories Cut
The A. and P. company in
creased its margin of profit to 2.68
cents on each dollar of sales, from
2.49 the year before. Despite ad-
ding 319 stores, broadening of its
lines of merchandise and extend
ing its system to the Pacific Coast,
inventories decreased nearly S1O,-
100000
Net income of $30,742,775 was
more than double the 1925 figures
and more than four times 1922
earnings. Net common share,
reflecting expansion out of earn
ings rather than through expend-
ing capitalization, jumped to
$13.86 from SLIT in 1929, and
NOAAAPu4Cu "4OLl pO'HO u oAldAC III
1925.
S73,373,57O Cash
Cash assets of $73,373,570 we're
more than double all current liza
bilities.
Profit margin of 2.88 cents on
each dollar of sales was the high
est since 1924, when 3.13 cents was
realized. 1t compared with 2.40
cents in each of the two preceding
years and with 2.42 cents in 1927.
1t is not likely any attempt will
be made to increase the profit
margin further.
For some time the policy has
been to keep the figure at mini
mum, and build up earnings
through increasing sales.
Sales of $1,065, ,806,885 in 1880
were $12,114,003 higher than in
1929, the previous best year.

to seasonal forces has appeared
This tends to show that the force
of the general recession has di-
miniShed.
But we must also remember that
the Easter season came unusually
early this year. Now that Easter
has passed, we are likely to see a
