| SUMNER CLOSING HOURS
| AND TRY AUGUSTA FIRST"
PLANS TO Be DISCUSSED

Annual Dinner Of Augusta Mer-
chants Bureau Will Be Held Today
Reports Of Work Of Past Year
|. Will 30 Presented and Officers
Will BE Elected-Two Important
Questions for Consideration
The merchants Of Augusta will meet
today at / o'clock at the Willow din
ing room to hear reports Of the work
Of the past year, to elect officers and
to take UP two questions of import
ance for action. The first Of these is
the matter Of summer closing hours,
and the other the question of promot-
ing a TRY Augusta First" campaign.
Various plans for summer closing
are in vogue in New England cities
and the Saturday afternoon and eve
ming plan is rapidly gaining favor as it
gives owners and clerks an opportuni-
ty to get in a real rest period or to
leave town for the cohntfy over the
week end. Other cities merely adopt
the o'clock closing rule during the
summer. giving an extra hQur each
day and omitting the usual Saturday
evening grill during the hot months.
Still others take one afternoon each
week which varies in different Sec
tions. Tuesday, Wednesday and THU s.
day being the most common days. Au-
gusta has adopted the Wednesday
closing rule, closing at noon during
the months Of July and August. This
plan is not universally favored as the
plumbers work Wednesdays and this
requires more or less opening by the
hardware men. and the bakers claim
that they cannot shut down because
Of the nature Of their business. This
promises to test the capacity Of the
Augusta merchants as to their spirit
Of cooperation and their ingenuity III
working out satisfactory plan.
The second question has been par

who has collected material from va
rious sources and a well-written report
will be read giving practical sugges-
tIons for the promotion of a loyalty
to Augusta" or "Try Augusta First"
campaign. There is plenty of food for
thought for the progressive merchant
in this report.
Since the Chamber of Commerce be-
gan its work in Augusta there has been
a growth in cooperation among the
merchants Of the city that is most
gratifying, and in additi> n to his many
other duties as secretary-manager of
the Chamber Of Commerce, Mr.. Clarke
has found time to conduct various ac-
tivities In their interests. The Cham
Der of Commerce, however. ia only par
TALLY a merchants organization, as its
program is a community program pri-
marily. Hence the merchants have
been formed into a separate bureau
and are to elect their officers today to
carry on the affairs of that bureau.
