Pittsburg Manufacturers Seek Friday Pay Day Reform
A movement grows among Pittsburg manufacturers and merchants to shift pay days to Friday, citing benefits seen in Boston and Baltimore. The trend mirrors international notes, with Sweeden credited for reducing intemperance after payday on Fridays. The passage also touches on fashion terms and a garbled anecdote about Dolly Varden as a dress motif and a London smith’s daughter, ending with unclear text about a minister and a tippling artisan.
