1 The store (location) is the pragmatic unit approximating a pure activity, capable of reporting sales, inventories, and payrolls, and fitting cleanly into stratifications by trade, size groupings, geographical divisions, etc. The establishment is the smallest operating unit capable of reporting the range of census detail, i.e., most importantly, operating expenses.

2 Sales to households, not going through store channels, i.e., books through book clubs, toilet preparations through door-to-door canvassing, etc.
