One hundred and eighty-three business firms-favour it—» 20-0-0 Eleotors signed the petition for a poll—every employes wants it. IT MAKES FOR UNIFORMITY—STANDARDISATION EFFICIENCY, " ; It makes a good, solid working week, with-a good vreekend holiday for rest. Saturday is now enjoyed by all Australia, the four large centres and 25 towns in New Zealand. Every year it is grow-* iag more favourable. It will become universal. Wanganui— * the fifth town —wants to be abreast with- the times. Why should Wanganui be saddled with Two Half Holidays? Wanganui has progressed beyond that silly stage. It wants Saturday holiday—the be&t day for employer and employee. WEDNESDAY IS NOW THE FARMERS' MARKETING DAY. Waverley depends entirely on the farmers* trade. It -enjoys the Saturday holiday, and has had it for four years. Its business men want no other day. Christchurch is the centre of the largest farming district. It is pleased with the Saturday holiday—it suits everyone. We want a Uniform Holiday—all working together and having the one hoIiday—SATURDAY. Saturday Holiday will create a Better and Happier Home Life. There are many divided families with the two holidays-a - week. Many a girl is working in a shop till late Saturday night, while her father, brothers, and sisters are enjoyin their Saturday half holiday. She probably goes to a lonely home on Thursdays, while they are at work. Mothers, think: Surely you can do hundreds a good turn by voting for Saturday holiday? Many a girl, many a lad, many a mother win be thankful for the one holiday a week—SATURDAY. A Very Large Majority of Business Firms earnestly desire Saturday Holiday. Every Thursdayite says he would welcome Universal Saturday Holiday. •■ Wanganui is happily situated, not having near-fty competitive towns. Waverley closes Saturday. Palmerston Nbrtll is sure to carry the Saturday holiday. Ask a Thursdayite what less a man will buy if the shops close Saturday, and then watch him. His knees quake and he gets cold trying to answer. The Saturday night trading is dying out. The trams have altered that. Suburbanites can now reach town in a few minutes, do their shopping, and be home ready to get the dinner or tea ready. There is no necessity for Saturday night shopping. WANGANUI WILL PROGRESS AS USUAL WITH SATURDAY HOLIDAY. The Late bright will be on Friday. Friday will become the Pay Day. Do not listen to the pessimistic meanings of a few Thorsdayites about lost trade and ruination—it is only bluff. These same arguments were used a quarter of a century ago, when the weekly half-holiday was to be enforced. BE PROGRESSIVE! Do not continue to saddle Wanganui with two Holidays a Week! VOTE FOR THE ONLY HOLIDAY—SATUEDAY IT WILL PROVE GOOD. -IS^sa 1 SALE OF' ■ UPHOLSTERED FTJRMTTJRE STEIKING REDUCTIONS FOR TWO WEEKS! Here is welcome news.
