termed a satisfactory weeks trading
Early closing in an effort to live up to
the provisions Of the N. r. A., accord
ing to many merchants, has brought a
big improvement in working conditions.

wholesale houses in past years, it is
stated, served to unfit them for their
daily laborS, some of them having been
on their feet as many as Is or 18 hours.
All varieties of fruits and vegetables
continued in plentiful supply through
