For Street Paving Bids
Others Are Making 50 Equal 90

Yesterday we urged every merchant to so ener-
geticaly PUSH his business that he would be able to
do the usual six days business in five days The
government does not want the volume of business de-
creased because of the ten Monday holidays
One of the big Washington merchants told us
that the stores in all the large cities have grasped
the Importance of making up in the open days for
the business lost in the closed days He stated that
they were leaving stone unturned to keep up their
totals Of weekly sales to at least the figure as
before the CLOSED Monday order went into effect
From the newspapers of the cities in the western
part Of this state and from the larger cities we no
tce that the stores have inaugurated number of
plans to boost business and to insure the disposal of
their winter stocks. Many merchants elsewhere are
advertising Tuesday and Saturday sales; the early
spring sales are being moved up to conserve time
and move the goods
The merchants in the larger cities realize that
business usual is the patriotic and sensible
thing for themselves and for the public.
