the stores, bringing the total profit since January

from the previous quarter's earnings of 81, ,lA5.
Commenting the results, sulo Iaakso, general
manager, said, "We are pleased wi the result as a
whole, as the is the most difficult quarter
in the year to pull through, due to decline in busi
ness because Of vacations and weather."
The outstanding Improvement shown in the audit has

and the Service Station did not have mar
gin to carry their share of the stration and

Variety and Drug Store $7Oo, although the total
sales increased slightly 81 ZOO. The loss was
due chiefly to drop in lunch department Sundry
margins. According to Mr. Iaakso, he has already
instituted weekly inventory in the lunch depart

rectified.
similar but less serious situation exists in
the Service Station where the margin accessories
decreased. An inventory taken in the Service Sta
Gon October 81 revealed excessively high

The Food Store showed profit Of 81 81, as
