so that the company may be able to take

MILFORD STORES
WILL CLOSE.
ALL BUSINESS STOPS AT NOON.
The Business Men of The Town Have
Decided Mutually to Close at Noon
on the Fourth Of July.

There is considerable speculation
upon the people of the town IS 10
whether or not the stores will close on
the Fourth of July, as that day comes
on Saturday. This is a national holl-
day and has been given over to cele-
bration for the past l25 years, and there
Is no reason why the observance of this
day of our natal birth should not be
kept now by every American citizen.
or course, there are some places of bus
mess that are of such a character that
they are hardly expected to close, but
the general public should not fail to
refrain from the pursuit of business on
thls day Of our national birth. as the
country and townpeople will not ex-
pect the stores to remain open on that
day. And since the people do not ask |
II OF the stores, it is not only foolish. |
but unreasonable, to ask the faithful /
clerks to sacrifice their patriotism to
crafty selfish gain. 1t is up to the
clerks, as they are the force that runs
he business, and besides no employer
'an compel their help to work on any
national holiday.
LATER.-The business places of the
own have decided to close their stores
N the Fourth of July at noon. This
viii give the people ample opportunity
do all the dealing that they wish.
nd will speak well for the patriotism
f the town.
