Saturday Shopping
Sir,— Criticising “her party,” Varian J. Wilson also uses Mrs Garrett’s unpolitical letter on shopping to demonstrate his own ideas on ro> tailing. If shop-keepers ever for them to shut-up-shop for most of the week. Then would
be the very time to stay open as long as possible to pick up every cent of trade. Sunday shopping overseas, which he deprecates, reflects the' need to cater with ever-open arms for the smaller incomes there, which here, be asserts, shopkeepers will counter by lessening their service. If his ideas are the ideas of “his party", thank goodness neither is dealing with the present difficulties. These difficulties will be sharpening the wits and efficiencies of trade at all levels. Saturday shopping will not “put the clock back,” but very probably forward for any retailer with a legal option of trying it out —Yours, etc., A. B. CEDARIAN. August 5, 1967.
