HELP WORKERS
Heads of Leading Stores
Heartily Favor Weekly
Concerts.

II there are any persons who
question the thorough pleasure
which a morning "sing" in a de-
partmcnt store gives 10 those en-
ployed within the establishment,
they should secure permission TO
attend the regular "Wednesday
morning song meeting at the Lsns-
burgh Brother store in Seventh
! street.
Under the leadership Of William
r. Schmucker. one Of the store
officials, the employees OF this house
reflect the enjoyment which is 30
strongly marked in the attitude OF
Samuel Hart. the manager. towards
this comparatively new innovation.
Hart is positive that there exists
great difference in the attitude
Of his employees on sing" mornings
His experience is further proof
that this coming together for these
morning meetings is OF great bene-
nj TO the working force Of the store.
for Hart has found that a happier
spirit exists through the sing"
days than on those days which DO
not have this cheerful beginning.
The attendance at the morning
meetings at this store is very good.
and material help is given TO them
by the accompaniment Of W. Hoeke,
their pianist.
