T own Merchants Endorse Plan for 6 o'clock Closing Thse !ollawing Bowmianville mer- chants have agreed ta, close their stores at 6 p. m. dally and at 10.30 p.m. saturdays and days preceding a holiday. This arrangement will be- come effective from Monday, April lst. They will continue to observe thse Wednesday hal! -holiday as in force at present. Some merchants pre!erred closlng Satuîday nights at 10 p. m. rather than 10.30. However, with daylight saving time in force during the summer months thse 10.30 closlng time seemed favored by the major- ity. Severai merchants favored an early closlng bylaw passed by town council with penalties for infract- ions of its clauses. This may be necessary if the mutual agreement to close as stated above is not ef - fective. It is generally conceded by the town merchants that earlier closing is desirable and with reasonable co- operation and consideration from customers the earlier closing wil work no disability on -any one con- cerned. In these day when organ- ized labor is calllng for even less than an eight hour day it seems ra- ther unreasonable to demand that merchants and their employees shal stand at attention ta serve the pub- lic from seven or elght a. m. until il p. m. or 12 midnight, when al the business of the day could easily be concluded in less time. It is hop- ed the merchants, whether they have signed thse carlier closing agreement or not. and the publie generally. will co-operate fairly in the matter and consider aIl con- cerned rather than their own par- ticular pleasure or convenience. Merchants who have agreed to the early closlng Include: W. C. Caverly A. & P. Stores Jas. Mari 1R. H. Dilling J. W. Jewell H. C. Osborne W. L. Elliott Scîrite Store T. W. Cawker Hydro Shop A. L.

Johnston & Cryderman Restaurants, tob.acco stores. flow- er shops. bake 'hops. and drug stores were nat c4tsvassed for eaîly closing.
