help. Operating seven days VIC must
have extra clerks to keep within the
state law on hours that a woman may
be employed. We would also insist
that every other line of business be
stopped. unless that business was alb.
solutely necessary to the welfare of
the public
Walter T. Druehl Of Druehl & FranlSen
We've got to sell enough to make
expenses on Sunday and our drug
business would not pay us enough
on Sunday to keep open. II people
expect TO have drugs on Sunday they
must let the druggists sell enough
other things TO pay clerk hire, store
rent. light and the like. 1t is a fool
ish proposition,
F. E. Whitworth-There is nothing
don I think the public would want
it, and that ought to be enough. |
believe most of the druggists would
be we'll pleased If they could close up
all day, but if they must stay open
for drug accommodations they should
be allowed to make expenses.
8. P, Sherwood-We had few Sun
days of that two or three years
ago. All it did was to arouse Ill feel
ing among our patrons, Drug sales
would not pay expenses.
M. F. Leaver-All right. Let's close
the restaurants, cigar stores, candy
stores and everything else, too. No,
T don't think this thing could be
hurt the merchants anyhow.
]. G, Hansen-It wouldn't pay to keep
open on Sunday for the drug busi-
ness. It is the poorest drug day Of
the week
~ Rohicny,
Drug company-Drugs alone wouldn Y
pay expenses. We might just as well
close up if that were all we could
sell.
w. H. Dayton would be perfectly
satisfied if they would close every
thing up and make absolutely no ex-
ceptions | believe most of the drug
gists would be glad to have Sunday
off. But if we must keep open for
drug patronage we ought to be al
lowed to make expenses.
L. P. Robinson, manager Of the oquirTh
Pharmacy-It wouldn't suit the peo-
pie at all 7 believe if the matter were
put to vote the great majority
would be against such move, be-
cause they naturally depend on a
drug store for many things on Sun
day,
y dJneS WlLuSlePoOu--I eoPlS HdN " w
pend Oh the drug store Sundays. It
is the best day for soda water, cigars,
candy, ice cream and the like. The
proposition would certainly lose If it
were put up to vote.
Charles Russell, manager of Waterloo
Drug company-We might "a well
close up altogether Sunday if they
want to confine us to drug business.
1t wouldn't pay to stay open.
H. P. Larsen, manager Of the Acme
Drug company-We would have to
close up Sunday if such a law were
enforced.
G. H. Ginter, manager Of the Bridge
Drug company That blue law was
tried in Denver about two years ago
when I was there 1t was the worst
thing that ever happened and at the
end Of three months tho law was
repealed And the agitation hurt
Denver badly because Of the negative
advertising the city got from the
move.
w. B. Keeling, manager Of the Untver-
sity Pharmacy-1'd close up entirely
if was confined to drug business on
Sunday.
Harry Coombs-I am willing to close
up entirely on Sunday but / certainly
couldn' It afford to stay open for the
Sunday drug business.
I. s. Rice, manager Of the Boyle Drug
company-Sunday is the poorest drug
day Of the week Candy, soda water,
cigars and the like are the main fea-
lures of the Sunday business. Such
move as the one proposed would
mean that most Of the drug stores
would have to close up Sundays.
