Glenn, time for a man on the street report. Do you have a lot of shoppers, or a lot of buyers? David, I have two stores that are in different cities forty miles a part. The store in Meadville is having the best year in history. Lots of shoppers and lots of buyers. The average ticket price is 5% lowere than last year but the quantity of purchases makes up the difference plus much more. The store in Erie is showing a decrease. The shoppers we get seem to buy but we are not getting as many shoppers as in the past. The store in Erie also is in a strip plaza rather than a mall. A lot more competition has also entered the Erie market. The two stores combined are doing a little better than last year in gross sales but not in profits. I would say people this year are price oriented more than in the past and the buying is spread more evenly throughout the year rather than just during Christmas. Glenn
