HE 22d of last S-)tamber, when we closed our Soda Fountain and Cigar Staud on Sau-
T day, and so announced, by notices in the newspapers, that we would remain open on
Suudays between the hours of 8:80 t5]10:30 A. M. and Bto 5 P. M. During thes»
hours would only sell medicine and sick-room neecessities, Our reas~n for doing this we have
not stated pablicly, believing that everyoue would draw their own conclusions. As we have
had, aud still have, numerous inquiries, and for the benetit of those, and others, we will state
our reasons for so doing, which are several:
After many months of deliberation and debate, we tinally decided to lessen onur hoare on
Sundays, and to restrict the hours we were open to the sale of drugs, medicines and sick-room
necessities. We felt that our eciployes would be better equipped to carry on their work with
& Sunday rest; and we also realized that unnecessary Sunday work was a violation of the law
of hoth God and man. While the keeping apen of drug stores for the sale of anything, from
& box of cigars, candy and ice cream to a block of chewing gum, has been licensed by custom,
it is, nevertheless, a violation of the law of cur State, and we believe the greater majority of
the best class of thinking people will uphold us in the stand that we have taken to abide by
and uphoid the law,
If you will look in a law book called the Code of Georgia, tenth division, arcicle 18,
page 128, paragraph 422, you will note:
““Violating the Sabbath Day.—Auy person who shall pursue his business, or the work
of his ordinary calling, on the Lord’s Day (work of necessity and charity only excepted) shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor.'’
We deem that filling prescriptions for the sick, selling sick-room supplies on Sunday
are works of necessity and charity, and we are glad to serve any and all that may need our
service for such on that day.
There has been a Sunday closing movement among druggists throughout the entire coun
try for some months, and it only finds opposition—not from the publie, but from a few drug
gists who are not willing to give up the ill-gotten dollar
About aine years ago we ‘‘cut ‘out’’ the sale of cigarettes and cigarette papers, because
we knew the sale of these things to be injurious to those sons, brothers and tathers, who used
them. We have lost many a dollar, but we feel that we have done our duty; and, while we
reulize that our Sunday closing means no small eacrifice to the financial end of our businees,
we feel that every well-thinking and law-abiding citizen will be with us, and we ask you again,
*‘Are We Right or Wrong ?”’
We merit your patronage by giving you the best poesible, and charging you ounly the
fair, legitimate profit. Respectfully yours,
J. W. LEGG & CO.
