PAUL'S fc

From the Shop that has
Always closed Saturdays at six
An Open Letter
to Retail Merchants Bureau
of the Chamber of Commerce
MEMBERS:
First a word of indorsement for the plan of closing' the shops of
Harrisburg Saturday evenings. A step in the right direction; it
deserves the support of every forward-looking citizen. But why
stop there? Why not close the shops Saturday afternoons during
the summer? What valid objection can be advanced to this sug
gestion?
In distribution, to shorten the hours results in no loss of business.
It means merely that buying is concentrated into fewer hours. In
production, the case is different, although even here personnel
experts in the great industrial plants are finding that within cer
tain limits shorter hours increase rather than decrease the unit
output.
To close Saturday evenings during the summer months should
result in several advantages to those engaged in selling apparel. It
enables the salespeople, for example, to get out and study the
well-dressed throng in the streets and in the resorts. It keeps
them up to date in their chosen work. They can better serve the
public as clothing counselors.
As to the altruistic phase of the question: the fact that it gives
these salespeople more leisure—more time for innocent pleasure,
and very distinctly enriches their lives—for' fear of seeming to
pose as a philanthropist, I shall not stress this factor. But I will
say that, beginning Saturday, July sth, this shop will be closed,
Saturday afternoons during July and August. I feel confident
that my patrons will appreciate my motives and will co-operate
with me in this step.
Members of the Retail Merchants Bureau of the Chamber of Com
merce, let us all have a summer holiday Saturday afternoons.
Why not incorporate this suggestion ; .n your movement and place
Harrisburg in the van of progress?
Very truly yours,
/<
