OPEN AS USUAL
LATE SHOPPING NIGHT
DECISION OF RETAILERS
A movement to observe a d'aily closed lunch-hour period for shops in the Whakatane business area, and also to abolish the late shopping night on Friday was negatived at a special meeting of the Whakatane Retailers Association last Tuesday evening! Both proposals were turned down, the first being left to the individual proprietors themselves many of whom have 1 been regularly closing for a considerable time already and the second bringing a no-action decision from the rather poorly attended meeting. ~ Regarding the complete abolition of the late shopping night it AVjas stated that whereas such a move might be possible in the larger centres, in the. smaller country towns where so many from the country depended upon the late shopping night as a regular occasion to visit the town and make Jjieir purchases, the foregoing of such shopping hours might have a very detrimental effect on the town.
