Analysis of Past Sales During 1976 and 1977
the total inyoiced sales of Dreamflower Tale
increased at the rate of Rs 2 crores per year.
The sales of Dreamflower Tale in the first half
of 1978 have increased by Rs 1 crore and we
expect a total growth of Rs 2 crores in 1978—
just as in the two preceding years. The projec-
tion for 1979 is an increase of Rs 2 crores in
sales, based on the fairly optimistic projections
‘on the agricultural and industrial front forecast
