FEW HOURS LESS
Belding Silk Mills Make Slight
Reduction In Time.
Getting Ready For Inventory season
Expected To be Only Tenn
porary.

From Saturdays Banner.
Next week the Belding Bros & Co
will make slight reduction in the
number Of working hours at each of
their factories in the city, they have
for some time been running 6 hours
week and the change which is tenn
porary will be to As hours at Factory
No. l and 40 hours at Factory No ,.
The inventory season is approach
ing when ii is. usual TO shorten up on
accumulation of stock and as there il
at present an abnormal condition in
the price and sales of silk throughout
the country, many large concerns
manufacturing the product are cur
failing the output by running on
shorter time.
They dislike very much and it is in
line with true business sagacity not
to pile up large accumulation of
high priced stock with the prospect
of possible lower market in which
to move it. 1t is expected that the
schedule of time which has been
adopted will be continued for only a
few weeks.
