Advantages oj
Business Hours
In a speech before the Chamber of Commerce recent
ly, Mr. Veliers, the housing expert, emphasized the fact
that even the highest-priced mechanics in war times
could seldom be induced to work over eight hours, even
though exceptional inducements were offered. Mr. Vel
liers said it simply proved that there are other things in
life greater than mere money. Ihe men are not con
tented to work for money all the time.
So with salespeople. There ctfn be no sound reason
why they should be expected to work from 8.30 or 9.00
A. M. to" 9.00 or 10.00 P. M. on Saturdays. This makes
practically a thirteen or fourteen-hour day in which they
are obliged to be away from home.
Closing our store Saturdays at six conserves the en
ergies of our employes and gives them more time for the
recreation we all crave.
Many of our valued customers have voluntarily as
sured us of their co-operation by expressing intentions
of doing their shopping during the daytime. We hope
greater efficiency in service will repay them.
