EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. BELIEVING after all the interest and ventilation the Early Closing Movement has received that there was an almost universal public feeling against ahopping after 6 on Saturday, we were willinj? to give closing at that hour a trial ; bafc, after the experience of the last two Saturdays and the very numerous representations of our Customers that they find it simply impossible to shop before 6 o'clock, we consider the movement is premature, and until a different day is arranged for the payment of wages and the feeling against lace shopping much more general and sincere, we cannot close our Establishment at 6 o'clock, but intend closing at 9 o'clock on Saturday and 6 o'clock every other evening. This we may point out is a very considerable concession on thepreseufe hours. Our case is simply this : Wβ take after 6 o'clock on Saturday on an average £100 from about 500 customers. Last Saturday we lifted between £80 and £90 from 400, thus proving one of two things, either that the people don't wish us to close at 6 o'clock, or they cannot conveniently shop earlier; the latter we believe to be the principal reason, as very many of them live in the suburbs and don t receive their wages till Saturday evening, consequently cannot make their purchases before 6 o'clock. We have always made ie a rule to study the Interest and Convenience of our Customers First, and, when they unmistakeably declare they are in favor of closing at 6 o'clock, we will be very willing indeed to do so. N.B.—As we ] are not members of the Canterbury Grocers and Storekeepers Association, and have never been consulted by them with regard to closing at 6 o'clock on Saturday, no resolution passed by that body is in the least binding on us. Our business hours until further J notice will be from 8 o'clock till 9 on Saturday, and 8 o'clock till 6 every other evening. WARDELL BEOS. & COMPT, CHRISTCHTJRCH AND DUNEUIN. BLANKETS. BLANKETS.
