Five O Clock Daily Closing Proposal in Quincy Plans
A Quincy canvass by women backing a weekly half holiday for girl workers found cordial reception but no single day agreed. Some firms favor Wednesday afternoon, others Saturday. The plan, tried in Peoria and Springfield, aims to give clerks a half day in July and August, with a five o'clock closing as fallback. Larger stores already offer periodic half-holidays. Merchants fear announcing weekly closures to out of town trade via newspapers, and country customers may be affected.
