DIRECTORS ANNOUNCE CHANGE.
JUNE I, TO GIVE FEMPLoYEs
THE EVENING OFF.

The practice Of keeping open satur'
day evening will be discontinued dur
ing June, July, August and September
by the banks of Fairmont in pursu-
ance OF arrangements made at recent
meeting OF the boards Of directors Of
the various institutions.
This change is made for the purpose
of giving the forty or more bank clerks
and telIers their Saturday evenings
off during the hot weather. The banks
will remain open until 8 O'clock on
Saturday afternoon. The policy OF
keeping the banking institutions open
Saturday evening was introduced into
Fairmont about three years ago.
Prior to this time they closed at 3
o'clock Saturday afternoon the same
as on other days.
In most large cities the principal
banks close at 10 o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon and do not open for business
again until Monday morning. Local
bankers, after studying the situation
carefully from all sides, do not believe
that during the summer months the

ing the banks open Saturday evening

according to the bank officials, al

The state law provides that all
commercial paper falling due on Sat

without protest. This law removes
any real necessity for, the extra. work

All business transacted Saturday

Saturday other than the regular bal:
ance in the afternoon. The business
done Saturday evening is balanced
with the business Of Monday.
