' ' ' 'A To 1 There Are Some Men Who Are Obliged to Work for Us Before Daylight This very morning one of them runs across the street to leave something on the door-step,' and about breakfast time along comes another man to stop at the door, with shoulders loaded and hands full of things we are expecting. Have a Good Word for These Early Risers who come through storm and sunshine and who, in the main, must carry their burdens and walk every step of the way. The Faithful Postman! The Daily Newspaper Carreer! The parcel post service and the increased weight of the enlarged morning newspapers have nearly doubled their work without doubling their pay. We owe much to the people who are on duty all night, who prepare for us our mail matter, and who print and deliver the newspapers the first thing, every morning If postmen and newspaper carriers were paid by the hour, as some mechanics are, it would be only the fair thing. If the night work of large buildings were cast up it would be a surprise to many. In this Store alone there are 112 watchmen, cleaners, clerks and laborers, busy large parts of the night getting ready for the next day. Signed Feb. 10, 1920.
