inventory replacement value

[Donald R McKechnie]

Conrad & List,

I have a database to show the inventory replacement value. It was part
of my justification this year. The numbers were impressive to those of
us in the department but not elsewere. I believe these numbers are
important and will continue to use them in my argument.
