Some of our merchants say they
would like to close their stores at
8 O'Clock during tho months of July
and August, if all would do it, to
give their clerks and themselves an
opportunity to get out little earlier
these hot evenings. This is done in
a great many places, without serious
hardship to any one, and if our mer-
chants generally would enter into
such an arrangement it would not
only be great relief to their clerks,
but would add immensely to their
own enjoyment and healthfulness.
