In Regard to Closing

We have been watching with good deal
OF interest this movement OF closing al &
o CLOCK Saturday nights. 1t is something
that we have been wishing for for long
time, We were waited upon by delegation
appointed by mass meeting and We told
them that We would be very glad ID close II
the rest would, but We see there are a few
that have started and the rest seem 10 be
not inclined, but we believe that the work
ing man ought to have Ais nights 70 him.
SELF and that ten hours day is long enough
Tor any one TO work, and we think that our
clerks would do us better service by getting
nome for little recreation than to work
until 10 p. m. Saturday nights and not get
ting home much before II o'clock maybe
later. Consequently they have to sleep most
OF sunday TO get rested instead OF going TO
church as they should do. And we believe
they would feel much better and give us all
better service by being fresh Monday morn
Ing when they come TO work. And we shall
close our place Saturday nights at D. m.
for the next two months at least to try IT,
and We are only sorry we did not start this
Saturday night passed. But we thought as
1t was the Saturday before the Fourth we
would keep open unless the rest all closed
up. So We hope that people wishing 10 trade
with us will do their purchasing during the
week or before Saturday night at O'Clock,
and We know We will be able to give II an
better service than We would by being
rushed so every Saturday in order to get
their goods out for them. Yours very truly,
BROWNING, KING & co.
