When Ford Met Ford

Henry Patterson stepped out on the
street the other day and Dell Rowley
asked him what he would take for the
trusty old Ford and when "Pat" named
the price, the rolling stock was soon
under the title of Mr.. Rowley. Dell
took it out for a trial run, taking
Ralph Whinnery along with him and
started for near Lowell. When just
south of Cooks CORNERS, they saw
another Ford coming and they drew
up on the outside of the road and stop
ped waiting for the oncoming Henry
to pass. When it got within about
ten feet of them it suddenly swerved
and struck Dell's peace ship a smash
ing blow under the ribs on the right
side, with the result that 1t was put
temporarily out of commission. The
offending Ford was driven by a Mr.
Mishe and luckily none of the occu-
pants were injured.

What Are Your Closing Hours
(Cnpty.iht1tadl

With the approaching hot weather
many stores are changing their hours
of work. Store help expect this and
the management of most stores are
inclined to be liberal in this respect.
i. In the cities the general rule this
year is to open at $3.50 and close at
$3.50. In some stores the opening hour
is 900 o'clock. In the larger cities
the more important department stores
are closed all day Saturday and this
idea is extending to the west.
In some localities where Saturday
afternoon and Saturday night trade
seems indispensable a Wednesday or
Thursday half holiday is allowed.
In one small Illinois city of 5000,
every business house is closed at nocn,
even the syndicate grocery store and
the little shops.
Business is not lost to another town
and no one loses by the arrangement.
The stores are open until nine on
Saturday nights however, and for that
reason employers have lone ago seen
that they could do the right thing by
getting together and giving employees
half holiday each week.
In this town winter months are not
excepted. This is done the year
around.
There is an annual business mems
picnic given bv the merchants of the
town. All employees and their families
are usually taken in automobiles end
trucks to some nice lake or recreation
park where the entire day is spent
and all places of business are closed.
These are among the things en-
ployers can do to get and maintain
10O per cent efficiency and loyalty.
These help make the business grow.
Do these things exist in Belding.
