PHILPOT grocer PHONE 961. GUYTON STREET, OPPOSITE LADIES 1 REST. VOTE POE THURSDAY AND FAIR PLAY. A FACT WHICH EVERY ELECTOR SHOULD KNOW By popular vote expressed over and over again Thursday has been for years the day set apart for the closing of shops in Wanganui for the weekly half-holiday. The law allows every shopkeeper to close his premises on Saturday instead of Thursday if he desires to do so. Messrs George and Kersley, for example, close on Saturday and keep open on Thursday. Messrs Gibson and Paterson, T. E. Thomas, and all other advocates of Saturday closing could follow Messrs George and Kersley’s example if they wished. If you and your fellow electors vote for Saturday closing every shop except a few specially exempted by law will In? forced to close on Saturday. The option will be abolished. It will not be possible for any trader to exercise the privilege which Messrs Gibson and Paterson, T. E. Thomas, and the other Saturday advocates have failed to use, and which they will still be able to use if you vote for Thursday closing. A trader who honestly believes that his business would be seriously injured by Saturday closing will not have the right to do as Messrs George and Kersley have done, select another day for his holiday. Even if it means bankruptcy be will have to on Saturday. It is important that the Electors should be clear on this point; by voting to retain the mid-week holiday as wo now have it the advocates of Saturday closing will not be deprived of their right, to observe Saturday as'thou holiday if they wish, but by voting for Saturday closing every trader will be deprived of the right to choose any other day for his holiday. It is abolutely unfair, but it is the law, and the only way to mete out fair play to all, i to YOTE FOR THURSDAY SIR WM. CROOKES, The Great English Scientist, worked for six years to invent a material for Eyeglass Lenses that would biter the harmful ultra-violet and heat lays out of both daylight and artificial light. It will take" us just about six seconds to show vou what a blessed relief these wonderful CROOKES LENSES arc to tired, strained eyes. They absolutely prevent one of the most frequent causes of eyestrain and headache. R. SMEATOY OPTHAI.MIC OPTICIAN, 658 GUYTON STREET.
