Good News at Last
by David Hachmeister
We have surprising good news. We know that has been in short supply as of late. Sales in stamps actually rose in February! They grew by a snappy 7.62 percent when compared with the previous two Februarys and moved the two-year average up by 5.01 percent. If there is a dark cloud in these numbers, it is that only 25 percent of our members had an increase in sales against last February.
Other product sales declined by a modest 1.76 percent. Only 18 percent had an increase in sales for other products against the previous February.
