Grocery Chain
Sales Highest
Since 1882

Grocery chain stores continued
last month to show sales gains,
carrying on the almost uninter.
rupted rise of the last four
months. according to Chain Store
Age.
Index of the organization for
this group, at 853, was at the
highest point since January,
1882, when the figure was 85.5.
In June it was 84.2. The index
numbers are based on 1929-1931
average for the month as 100.
The summary attributes the
sales increase to the steadily
rising price level for food prod,
uctS."
Chain store trade as a whole
last month closely followed the
pattern for June, it was stated,
with the five-and-ten store group
showing improvement along with
the grocery group. Recessions
were revealed in the apparel,
shoe and drug groups.
Despite the mixed nature of
July sales, total volume for the
18 reporting chains dropped less
than the seasonal amount. Com
posite index advanced to 92.5
from 91.5 in June and 87.5 in
July last year.
Total average daily sales last
month amounted to $4,793,O 900
for all groups, comparing with
$5,101 900 in June. a decrease of
6 per cent. The July boom last
year, according to the summary,
in retail business resulted in a
decline of only 1.3 per cent under
June. The average loss during
the base period, 1929-1931, was
about 6.8 per cent.
