PLAUT STORE TO
CLOSE EARLIER
ON SATURDAYS
Shorter Hours for Employees
Are Announced-Firm's Head
cheered by Staff.

L. S. Plaut & Co. today announced
the new store hours schedule to go
into effect at once.
The Plaut store will open every day
in the year at O'Clock 1t will close
at $50 o'clock every day, including
Saturday, except during the summer
holiday season, when the store will be
open from 9 a. m. to II noon.
The announcement of the new hours
was made to the employees of the
Plaut firm yesterday. The employees
assembled last evening on the main
floor and when the members of the
firm stepped from the elevator they
were greeted with an outburst of
cheers. Louis Plaut spoke. He told
how the firm for years advocated the
shorter hour movement. Nothing
pleased him more, he said, than the
realization that Newark has at last
outgrown the village tradition of long
and late hours, and that the city Is
keeping pace with ali the other larger
cities of our country in all matters re-
lating to commercial progress and
welfare of employees.
Mr. Plaut said the new move is one
that has long been expected and will
be heartily welcomed by every resi-
dent of the city. Many of Newark S
prominent business men have long
advocated this move. but have been
deferred from carrying it into effect
only because they felt that the time
was not ripe for so radical a change.
