                                       - 30 -                                         
          would have sold 56 six-packs each week during 1987, 51 six-packs            
          each week during 1988, and 47 six-packs each week during 1989.              
          Petitioner's testimony, however, indicates that he sold a maximum           
          of 35 six-packs each week (i.e., 10 six-packs each day Friday               
          through Saturday, and 3 six-packs each day Sunday through                   
          Thursday).  On the record before us, we find that petitioner sold           
          to go 1,352 six-packs each year (8 six-packs each weekend day,              
          and 2 six-packs each weekday).  Cf. Cohan v. Commissioner, 39               
          F.2d 540 (2d Cir. 1930).  Accordingly, we conclude that                     
          petitioner's gross receipts from the sale of canned beer are as             
          follows:
