scented $40 of the total business
and amounted to $46,S68.24.
Wholesale business representing
sales to country clubs, the Olney

dispensaries amounted to 29%o of
total sales and produced 26@o of
the gross profit for the year. OF
the total operating expenditures of

salaries paid managers and sales
clerks at the dispensaries. Other
administrative salaries, including
