Show early closia we are informed that an early closing movement is on foot among the clerks of the leading mercantile institutions of the city this is a move in the right direction there is no reason why a clerk should be made a slave of and be compelled to work from fourteen to sixteen hours per day these figures may appear at a first glance to be a little exaggerating but a ten minutes conversation with some of the clerks in this city will amply verify the statement early closing has proven a success in salt lake city and many of the eastern cities why can it not be a success in provo let the business men of the city bo united on this point and the object will soon be obtained some of the customers who have been accustomed to calling at the store at various hours of the night and if the store happened to be closed to rouse the clerk from his slumbers in order that they may be gratified with ten cents worth of navy chewing tobacco may kick a little at first but when they find all the merchants are in the ring they will succumb to the inevitable and call at a respectable hour |
