Sales In Simpsons' Stores Show Small Increase

TORONTO, (CP\~Saleii in Simp- son's department stores in the first. quarter of 1954 showed A small in- crease over the same period last year. E. G. Burton. president of Simpsons. Ltd.. said Tuesday It the company's annual. meeting.

The increase was in spite of I hate Easter and late winter weath- er. It is estimated, however. that earnings for the first three months will be down slightly from lIsi. year. “mainly due to higher wage costs."

The new Montreal store, In Id- ditinn which doubles the size of the previous store, is expected to be completed in SeptombIr.

The London, 0nt.. store. opened this month. should also contribute greatly to future operating profits. and the Lawrence avenue urvice building in Toronto, now subsum- ially in use. should bring econom- ies in the latter half of the year.

Recent excise tax reductions. Mr. Burton stated, should slim- ulate sales through lower prices. although price cuts made on goods on which tax had already been paid, would result. in some immed- iate loss.

Capital expenditure provision this year is $l.785,000. compared with 56.770000 last year. and no further substantial capital expenditures arr- immedialcly contemplated.
