An agreement for the closing of
business places two evenings each
week was recently circulated and was
cheerfullly and gladly signed by every
firm in town, with one exception. The
refusal in this instance makes it i'm
possible to carry ont the project on
fair and equal basis, and another effort
for the establishment of an up to. date
business practice is thrown down. 1t is
indeed, worthy effort to thus give the
business man and his help the oppor-
tunity of week day evening with the
home circle, or social hour out, the
same as is enjoyed by the farmer and
day laborer every evening of the week,
if they wish.
