Plan Will Provide More
Leisure Time For
Employees
A majority of the Covington
merchants and other business
establishments closed at noon yes
terday as a program of early
Wednesday closing were inaugu
rated in the City to provide more
leisure time for the employees of
Covington firms.
A petition, circulated during the
early part of the week, among
(he local business firms was sign
ed by more than 45 proprietors
and store managers. Closing early
on Wednesdays this year is a con
tinuation of a practice started in
Covington several years ago.
A little confusion resulted in
yesterday’s early closing as Cov
mgton housewives, not being ac
quainted with the first closing
date, failed to make the necessary
preparations.
Covington merchants , . . have ask
the full cooperation of the buy
|ng Public m observing the
Wednesday closings. Everyone is

eligible to vote.
The name of F. B. Shaddox

The News deeply regrets this
omission and it was only
through an error that Mr.
Shaddox name was left out.
