for THURSDAY and the Progress of New Plymouth. DON'T PUT YOUR TOWN Bfl;K! The Business Men and Merehants of New Pymouth consider that any change in the half-holiday at present will be® big set-back to the trade of New Plymouth. Our town is at present prosperous. We have practically no unemploy|s , and considering that our Empire is engaged in the biggest war of the age, this is not the time to make such a drastic nhiitijft, \ Auckland has tried it, and is petitioning for a return of the mid-week hsliday. Christchurch is fighting hard to fit back the Saturday trade. Wanganui has issued a protest against any departure from Thursday as a half-holiday, sigs&d . by eighty Retail business firms. „ Why not go for a universal half-holiday for the whole Dominion? Every Business Man will support and work S6t this, but until this is carried we would ask you to vote, one and all, for Thursday, and pu3h our town ahead, and not tdge , any chance of setting it back. • ' ' 1 V. • Why Vote for Thursday as a Half-holiday ? | 1.

VOTE FOR PEOPLE'S DAY DRIVE OUR TOWN AHEAD AND VOTE FOR A SATURDAY l..The town will benefit greatly by shops being open oh Thursday afternoons. .Thousands of our country visit New Plymouth on Thursdays for picnics every year, and we lose a splendid opportunity for business through our shops being closed. All country picnics take place on Thursdays. These visitors would only be too willing to do shopping with us if we gave them the opportunity. Many country towns close on Thursday. 2. Farmers will still do any Saturday business they have on 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 on an additional night. 4. 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, 5. 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, unlit for work on Friday mornings. 6. Waitara is with in in this movement. 7. Auckland, after a two-years' trial of Saturday half-holiday, has decided against attempting to mike any change. This is a fact. 8. Whatever day we have it is almost certain that it will not affect the 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 now? 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 \vill still be open for business if tliey wish to.
