FOR SHORTER HOURS.

[Chicago Dry Goods Reporterl
Taking the replies received. from rep
resentative merchants on the early
closing questions asked them by the
Reporter, as expressing the sentiments
of the ma jority OF western merchants, |
there is no reason to doubt the fact8|
that early closing Is popular with deal
ers in dry goods and general merchan-
disc and is even becoming more SO. The
idea is spreading and early closing is
becoming more general each year
some few merchants are even closing
az early as half past 8, alt1o the major
sitS keep open until or 6:3l. Saturdays
as a rule excepted The feature of the
movement is that when once tried
merchants are loath to go back to the
old hours.
7 appears to be. with but few excep-
tions, the consensus of opinion that
early closing is beneficial to clerk and
merchant alike. The former because it
gives him needed rest and time for
recreation. 1t enables him to spend at
least a few evenings a week at home.
He comes back to the store refreshed
in body and mind and is better
equipped to master the problems Of the
day. is more affable to the customers
and does the work required of him with
greater vim The merchant I, on the
other hand, has his evenings with his
family. He, too, comes TO the store
mornings fresher and better able to
run things as they should be run. The
customer. of course, is to he considered
but it is shown that altho he often OBJ
jected when early closing was first in
augurated he became satisfied when he
was accustomed to the new order of
Things and soon became an ardent sup
| porter Of the movement.
The correspondents report no loss of
business resulting from shutting up
shop a few hours earlier than Tile old
time, unless other merchants IL the
Same line keep open, and even then a
number of dealers claim that there is
no difference in the volume of business
