More Business Comparisons
Our gross sales for Jul)', 1908, were $388.15
more than for July, 1907. Our collections for
July, 1908, were $535.57 more than for July,
1907. The increase in collections has the ap
pearance of being more in proportion than the
sales, but we had more accounts at the begin
ning of July, 1908, so that the collection in
crease is just one per cent of the outstanding
accounts. Our sales for June, 1908, were
$690 more than for June, 1907, so that the in
crease has fallen off a few points. But the in
crease in collections over last year is a little
above the increase for the preceding months.
