Proposal To Close Stores Sat
urday Moons Or At 6 P. M,
Instead of On Wednesday AS
Has Been the Custom Past
Several Years

The matter Of half day closing Of
the retail places Of business OF Au-
gusta during the summer months
will be decided upon at q luncheon
meeting Of the merchants to be held
at 1890 Friday noon at the Augusta
Girls Community Club. Whether the
Wednesday half holiday will be
adopted again this year or some 9TH
er plan is not certain but at the
meeting tomorrow the proposition
will be given general discussion.
There has been considerably agit-
alton for Saturday evening closing
instead Of the mid-week half day.
1t would be more advantageous to
adopt the Saturday plan. closing
their store doors at P. M. the same
as any other business day. while
some are in favor Of closing at noon
Saturday.
It has been pointed out that the
Wednesday noon closing was adopted
when this city bOasted a baseball
team in the Maine league and home
games were scheduled for that after
noon. The local union barber shops
observe the mid-week half-holiday
twelve months in the year. but these
shops remain open several evenings
during the week. and the merchants
do net believe that there is any real
reason for their adopting the same
schedule as to the half day closing.
At the meeting tomorrow noon
the { Snual Dollar Day plans will be
pres ted and it Is anticipated that
the r1eful cooperation in the matter
Of Advertising and special offerings
will prevail this year as during the
successful sales events Of the past.
Practically one hundred per cent at
tenda nee of the merchants is anti
cipated at the luncheon session at
the Girls Club tomorrow.
