HOLIDAYS IN GRANITE SHEDS
There Is Likely to Be Less Time Lost
This Year Than Last.

Many of the granite sheds in the
city closed down this afternoon until
Wednesday morning Others ceased
work last night and viii not reopen until
the Wednesday after New Years, which
means that their employees will be given
ten days off Others still shut down
earlier in the week to remain closed
until the coming Wednesday.
Probably because of the mild weather
which has marked the season to date,
many of the sheds will cut the annual
Christmas suspension of business down
to minimum. Manufacturers say that
such an opportunity to carry on business
seldom comes and many appear anxious
to take advantage of the favorable
weather and make Up for time which
may be later sacrificed on account of
zero conditions Doubtless another rea-
son partially accountable for the ten
dency to limit the time of closing is
the fact that business seems to be
brighter than last year, when a good
majority of the sheds suspended work
for ten DAYS
