vote SATURDAY * PEOPLE'S DAY 4f DEIVE OUR TOWN AHEAD AND VOTE FOE A SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY, BECAUSE—--1 .The town will benefit greatly by shops being open on Thursday afternoons. Thousands of onr country visit Now Plymouth on Thursdays for picnics every year, and Aye lose a splendid opportunity for business through our shops being closed. All country picnics take place 011 Thursdays. These visitors would only be too willing to do shopping with us if we gave tin ,u the opportunity. 2. Farmers will still do any Saturday business they have 011 Saturday mornings. At present practically all such country business is completed by mid-day. Farmers must and do leave town early for their milking. Very many of our farmers now visit town by car and motor 'bus, reaching town early and leaving early. One o'clock closing on Saturday will not affect them. As a matter of absolute fact, the great bulk of country business is now done through the week. 3. Our trams will be popularised by Saturday closing. All local functions, local seaside picnics, athletic gatherings, etc., will take place on the one day, Saturday, and increase tramway travelling. Friday being the late shopping night, will mean increased tramway business un an additional night. i. It will mean better health for factory, office and shop employees and employers because of the continuous rest from business from Saturday at noon till Monday morning. i). Employers will get better results from their employees, who will start the week fresh andready for work; and not as employers often state is now the case, unfit for work on Friday mornings. 6. Waitara is with us in this movement. 7. Auckland, after a two-years' trial of Saturday half-holiday, has decided against attempting to make any change. This is a fact. 8. Whatever day we have it is almost certain that it will not affect <he result of the war. as Thursday advocates affect to believe. 9. Our opponents all admit the principle of Saturday closing as correct and ask that it be made universal by law. (See their manifesto). Why, then, not start aow? Note.—Voting for Saturday will not affect the majority of those who signed the Thursday manifesto, as butchers, hairdressers, tobacconists, bakers, chemists, confectioners, fishmongers, florists, photographers, refreshment rooms, hotels and fruiterers are exempt from Saturday closing, and will still be open for business if they wish to. ' , DON'T BE MISLED Never mind what happened before the Maori War, but VOTE FOR SATURDAY,
