IN the business world Itself the bottom

the consumer started several weeks

except absolute necessities was broken
by the CnristmaS spirit and that most
retailers viii have cleared their shelves
pretty well by the end Of this, year.
OF course the danger in reducing .he
cost Of labor Is always he prospec OF

ployers would welcome he chance TO
be rid Of an overhead cost on labor
altogether FOR few weeks, SO the wise
