'DO YOUR SHOPPING EARLY" ON SATURDAY
is SLOGAN THAT WILL HELP WORKERS

campaign not only to save store girls
from all day work on Saturday in the
heat Of summer which causes a lot
Of them to faint behind the counters,
but in the education of the shopper
to the knowledge that "systematized
shopping" is a step in advancement.
The Consumers league, which has
conducted a campaign each summer
In an endeaVOr to have the shOpkeep-
ers in the loop and in the outlying
districts close half day Saturday, as
some of the other loop stores have
been doing for years, has sent out
an appeal to women shoppers that
they do their shopping early"
Despite the fact that Marshall
Field & Co., Mandel Bros. and Car
son Pirie, Scott & Co. are able to
close half day Saturday, and set-
eral of the largest department stores
in the east have continued the prac-
tice, established three years ago, of
closing the entire day of Saturday,
other loop shOpkeepers insist the
public will not stand for it. Siegel,
OOOpC4 q W. 1uC It dll5 INOLu0Cullu
& Co., Hillman and the Boston
Store prOprietoTs have been giving
that excuse regularly for as many
seasons as the other stores have
been proving that it is possible to
close up.
The letter sent out by the Con-
sumers' league, and signed by Elsa
Wertheim, reads:
"This is the season when everyone
who believes in the Saturday half
holiday should remember to shop be-
fore one on Saturday afternoon. If
your belief in the Saturday half hoH-
day includes the wish that delivery
clerks should share it, have your
shopping finished by Friday after
noon.

tending the summer Saturday half
holiday to retail clerks has stumbled

fuse to shorten their hours while
their Tivals-the large stores in out
lying neighbOThOOds- open, not
only Saturday afternoon, but Satur-
day evening and Sunday morning as
well. Meanwhile, the outlying stores
feel they must keep open Saturday
evening and Sunday, as their best
business hours are those during
which the loop stores are closed.
Possibly nothing but the effective or
ganiZatiOn of retail clerks will settle
this conflict between the loop stores
and the outlying establishments
which now drags out the working
day and week in both places.
But it is another matter to keep
the stores already on the half hOli-
day list standing pat and to add to
their number new recruits from
among the stores whose prOprietOrs
are now of divided mind on the sub
jeCt Of closing. Many of these pro-
prietOrs have signed, and circulated
among the stores in their own trade
group, agreements to close on Satur-
day afternoon, only to find these
agreements broken by INSCRIPTIONS
proprietors to their own profit and
to the disadvantage of their cOmpe-
titOrs.
ct is the Unsystematic customer,
the Indifferent customer, the selfish
customer, who tempts the store
keeper to be INSCRIPTIONS. It is in
our hands, as patrons Of retail stores,
to keep the ground already gained
for the Saturday half holiday and to
add new ground. 1t is for us to ad-
vOcate greater relief from inside serv-
ice during hot weather, for the clerks
behind the counter, by buying what
we need before one o'clock on SatUr-
day.
The ultimate gain will not be to
the clerks alone, but to ourselves
also. The bulk of retail buying is
done by women, since they buy not
